Great advice Kelly.....a separate account just for receiving the rent income.
Have it automatically transferred each month to a different account..
just an FYI....be VERY careful of ANYONE saying that "their agent" will make arrangements, and that YOU need to send ANY money to ANYONE. These are all SCAMS.....
They say that they will "pay full price"....but have already had a "bank check" made for a certain amount...they will send you "bank check for over the amount...and ask for you to send THEM the difference...
Obviously...the bank checks are forgeries....by the time you figure out that the "bank check" bounced...YOUR check has already been cashed!
These SCAMS are VERY popular on Craigslist, and have been for years, yet...unfortunately, MANY still bite the hook!
Always ask for their info, so that you may return a call, address, etc...
Most of the "overseas" inquiries ARE SCAMS!
