There is always risk... but I’m tired of leaving my money in a savings account earning no interest.

You should talk to an attorney and accountant to find out the best way to set up your business.

Account Closed thank you for your replies. 

I don;'t think many of my books are using echeck so I don't think this is a big deal.Since Homeaway / VRBO accounts for 95% of my bookings and they keep my calendar full I can't complain about any of their fees.

You probably already know this but it might be worth the time to set up an account with your local building materials supplier (Not lowes or HD) those folks always have their ear to the ground and can often recommenced better options.
