I have a clause in the lease that says the security deposit will be held in so and so bank with so and so address and interest rate will be xyz.

That has stopped but we do feel it to be a security issue. 

And I STILL have a ways to go to get my first social security check at 62.  ;-)  I have 8 SFR, all in A- to A areas.  

From there I’ll make regular calls to let them know which properties I have available.

If I require a separate EIN then I would just make regular LLCs.

It took alot of calling and emailing but I secured a place.                                                     

It depends a lot on your risk profile and regular income.

For example, the most important job of a property manager is securing reliable tenants—those who stay for many years, always pay rent on time, and take good care of the property.

Some landlords report that it regularly takes around six months to start receiving direct deposits from the government.

Finally, be open to slightly remote locations with better cash flow potential over high-appreciation markets.If you’d like help analyzing properties or securing financing, let me know I’d be happy to assist.Best,Drago
