Separate bank account to collect rent?

[Michelle Garcia]

Hi all, 

I am curious to know what the BP community thinks about opening a separate bank account to collect tenant rent. I currently don't want to start an LLC yet since I am in the beginning stages (haven't purchased a property yet). However, I plan to house hack and I am curious to know what are the best strategies in collecting rent in the meantime and once I own a few rental properties.

Thank you in advance :)
