Tenant Checks -- How to Seem More Professional than Payable to Me?

Hello All,

I know we all strive to look more professional as investors. Some of us are willing to go and get an LLC to do so. I was wondering if there was an easier way? Specifically, is there is a way for the tenant's check to be made payable to someone other than my name? You know, how some write out checks to 123 InsertStreetnamehere [similar to LLC held in property's name] instead of my name. Granted my name is adequate, but it just doesn't have the "Oomph" that says, this is a professional real estate business with a professional landlord.

Any thoughts?

Get a DBA (Doing Business As) name. It's easy, cheap, and sounds more legit.
