Bank Accounts + Landlording
Hi there,
I'm about to close on my first property (6 doors) and am realizing that I don't know how to collect rent in a convenient fashion for the tenants. I have been told to use Baselane so that they can ACH transfer for free, and that baselane also gives me 4.5% APR for my money saved there (i.e. security deposits, etc.)
However, I don't like Baselane's withdrawal limits, and also how long it would take for baselane to transfer money to my primary checking accounts, at JP Morgan. I am considering opening a business account at JP Morgan for all income + expenses, and simply use baselane for rent collection + higher APR on security deposits, etc. (I am not required to pay tenants the interest on security deposits).
Any concerns with this? Am I thinking about it properly?
Thanks!
