After some fun (or not so fun) Evictions we have learned a secret (probably not a secret to most of you) that we would like to share.
The secret is:
- Walmart2Walmart Money Transfers
For our 2 MHPs we have Payments mailed to a PO Box.
Typically, Tenants either mail Personal Checks or Money Orders.
We send Monthly Bills to our Tenants.
We also text Tenants IF we do not receive their Payment.
The majority of our Tenants pay early or on time.
However, once in a blue moon we have a Tenant who has not paid & has an “Eviction Set Out” Scheduled with the Sheriff’s Deputy.
In the past we have had to “wait for the Payment” in the mail, but this causes an issue if the “Eviction Set Out” is already scheduled as the Tenant will claim “the check is in the mail”.
We have even gone to an Eviction Set Out only to follow the Tenant & Sheriff to a local ATM (supposedly they were getting money to avoid the Eviction); only to not get any money & then have the Sheriff tell us that he “wasted too much time” & could not do an Eviction Set Out.
Wow, now we have a remedy:
- Walmart
- Walmart2Walmart Money Transfers
IF you are needing Payment, have your Tenant try it out.
All your Tenant will need to do is:
- Go to your nearest Walmart
- Have Money For Payment
- Give Walmart Your Name
- Give Walmart The State Where You Will Pickup Money
- Have Money For Wire Transfer Fee: $8 Charge - (In our situation)
In order to pickup Money you will need to:
- Go to your nearest Walmart - (in the State specified)
- Show your Driver’s License
- Collect Money
We have had Tenants use Walmart2Walmart Money Transfers on 4 instances & have not had any issues.
Our Walmart does stop processing Walmart2Walmart Money Transfers at 8 PM. However, other Walmarts might have different hours.
For those of you already aware of this awesome little service…sorry for the interruption.
For those of you learning something new…give it a try.
We wish you the very best!
