The business checking account is to look more professional I guess. The tenants can write checks for their rent to the business name rather than my own name. I'm not doing this to hide my name from the property. I realize that with some digging anyone can always find out who owns the property.
The person who is showing the house to the tenant can say that they work for "ABC business" and so that's where the rent goes.
There are business accounts with a lot of free services so getting a good account is probably not a problem.
