It has no bearing or relevance whatsoever.

Depending on your market and competition, there is only so much of a rent increase your tenants will bear.

Hello Friends, I have a rental property in Big Bear CA and searching for ways to generate more online interest.

Generally, I just stick it in any kind of minor interest-bearing account that I have with an institution that I want/may want to hit up for an investment mortgage.

Once you learn to "see" through walls and learn which ones are load bearing and which aren't, you can sometimes really transform living space without a lot of effort. 

If it's required to be in an interest-bearing account, the tenant is entitled to receive the interest if he or she lives in a rental property for 2 or more years.In addition to this you as a landlord must return the security deposit to the tenant within 30 days of them moving out of the property.So long story short if you did not transfer the security deposit from the purchase of this sale the original owner is liable to disclose this information to you.  

Account Closed Yes, in PA we are required to put it into an interest bearing account and I believe after year 3 you must give the tenant interest minus 1%.

Initially our tenant will be living above us, so this won't necessarily be an issue at first, but we'd like to setup a system now that scales as we purchase future properties.After doing some research on where to keep funds, it looks like the common response is to either keep them in either an interest-bearing savings account, checking account, CD, etc. and largely to keep the funds liquid, so you can access them on demand. 

@John Underwood, I've considered it, and I do have some local people, but the cleaning coordination is a real bear, especially given the remoteness of the location and frequent back-to-back turnover.
