Now, recently we’ve covered a LOT of banking questions for everyone. We’ve gone over what type of account to set up for rentals, which banks are the best for investors to use, and how to set up ACH/electronic payments. This brings us to our final class on banking for now- how to get tenants to actually WANT to use ACH/electronic payments. Just be sure to check out all of these other videos after this one for more help.

So, this statement comes up as we speak with investors about using ACH/electronic payments for collecting rent; “What if my tenants don’t want to use ACH?” To be clear, there is a difference between not wanting to and not being able to, which I’ll cover shortly.

For this class, I’ll be going over some of the most EPIC ways our current VIP list investors told us about when we asked for help with ACH/electronic payment incentives for tenants- BigREIA.com/people

Here’s what they had to say;

1.) Rent rate breaks
This can be twice as much as the maximum fee for using an electronic payment with some third party apps. In some cases this is as little as $10 total each month

2.) Pet rate breaks
Most landlords charge a monthly pet fee in addition to the monthly rent. Some investors were able to incentivize this by offering less than $15 per month break for tenants that set up ACH/electronic payments

3.) Credit reporting
Some tenants will desire that their rent is being reported to credit agencies each month. While two of the third party apps we talked about in our ACH/electronic payment class did this for free, simply telling your tenants you’re willing to do this for them can be an incentive for setting up automatic payments because it will actually build their credit for free.

4.) Credit counseling
In some cases, tenants may need help with their credit and offering credit counseling may be a huge benefit to them, offering real help they need

5.) Carpet or mid lease cleaning
Some tenants will value having carpets cleaned midway through the lease terms, while others will value a midway through the lease professional cleaning. This will also be a way to get inside and verify the state of the property halfway through the lease.

6.) Offer First Rights
Offering your tenants First Rights to purchase the rental property can be another incentive for those who are not only desiring to own their own home, but are closer to it financially. We’ve also done a TON of classes on lease with options for situations when traditional financing may not work – check those out.

7.) Offer an end lease bonus
This usually has a previous set dollar amount in cash or item value and needs to be laid out in the lease agreement upon initial signing

8.) Offer to help set up a bank account with money in it
Some banks will offer sign up bonuses to new accounts of up to $300. Helping your tenants be aware of current offers and helping them sign up for an account with ACH/electronic payment usage can be a great incentive for tenants

9.) Allow Cash for Keys.
Let the tenants know that if they do ACH you can make it easier to get out the lease with a potential cash for keys agreement, meaning that if they follow the rules they can actually break their lease and walk with cash. We did a class on this and why it makes sense, in reality it makes sense to offer this to nearly all of your tenants because in the long term it will usually mean much more money and ROI for you.

So those are NINE of the top ways that our people are using incentives to get their tenants to sign up for ACH payments.

But what about those who simply aren’t able to set them up?

This can happen for a variety of reasons such as being elderly and not fully understanding the concept for example. In these types of cases, and as we covered in our class on which banks are best for investors, a bank that offers in person deposits without the presence of a debit card can be very helpful.

If you have specific tenant ACH/electronic payment issues that are more situational based like this, let me know and I’ll do what I can to help just text me.

To set up ACH payments?

Make sure your lease agreements clearly outline the incentive or incentives you choose to use. We’ve laid out steps one through three in our ACH set up class for both in house bank transfers as well as using third party apps for electronic rent collection.

Also you can use services like Zelle and other money transfer services as well.

We’ve also included an ACH authorization that you can download and use for FREE, that is below.

Once your leases are up to date, you’re legally ready to rock and roll with electronic payments!

Now, coming up I’ll have a preview for you of these incentives on our always FREE download as well as the adventures of our BigREIA friends

Also here’s a page at Nerdwallet and they keep an updated list of bank bonuses that you can get when you open an account, so you can use these sign up
