Security Deposit Questions

[Aaron Cooper]

I am finishing the a renovation of my first vacation rental and I could use some advise. 

So BP Community could you give me your advice on How to Collect Security Deposits? Is there an easy way to collect them online or is mail in a check still the best way?  Also, where do you hold the deposits?  Do you set up a separate account for the deposits?

Does anyone have any advice on creating a website? template vs custom design?

Thanks!!

@Aaron Cooper yes, that's true. There seems to be something about actually putting money down for a security deposit that can make tenants treat a property better.
