First renter mailed checks to me. Second renter deposited directly to my checking account at the bank which makes it much easier for me.
I’m one of the ones who hate being a landlord but that’s my problem, not liking to deal with people. Inadvertent landlord renting out my old place when I’ve bought a new home. Money made from renting doesn’t seem worth it but the appreciation is good/great. Want to get out but I don’t think there is a good exit strategy without being hit hard on taxes. It’s not too bad as long as the rent gets paid. Otherwise it sucks.
Good luck being a landlord. I think the key is finding a good tenant and making sure they never leave.
