Hi my name is Justin Sheley, I'm 27 and have a beautiful wife Hallie and a baby on the way:) Within the last few months I have been dedicated to educating myself on real estate, I truly believe it is the path to financial freedom and the career that I can be passionate about. I have been listening to the bigger pockets podcast for awhile, but am just now posting on the forums. I live in Rockford, IL and own two multifamily homes and live in one of the units. I am looking to purchase my first single family investment this summer. I would love to hear from anyone else investing in the Rockford area and even meet you in person if it works out. I am in the stage of trying to learn as much as I possibly can by listening to those who have gone before me and found success. I'm excited to be on the forum and thank you bigger pockets for your podcasts and this great resource for real estate education.

Listening to the Bigger Pockets podcast I heard about the pay near me service. I only have two multi families currently for a total of 4 units, but I would love to get started with using direct deposit payments instead of collecting rent checks. However, when I visited the pay near me website it says individuals and sole proprietorship cannot use the service. Does this mean I have to establish an LLC in order to do this? Are there other direct deposit methods that anyone would recommend?
