Well, I've finally worked a way around the bank account issue.
You see, after I formed an Limited Liability Company (LLC) to own the property (and to avoid enormous taxes as an individual), I found that it's literally impossible to get a bank account in the name of the company, without physically being in America.
This has caused much angst. So after going around and around, I've found that we can have a notarised agreement between the LLC and me, as an individual, appointing me as the collection agent for the LLC. Tricky huh? So, I can open a personal US bank account, through HSBC (without being there in person) and then have all the rent paid to that account, as the authorised 'agent'. HA!
Where there's a will, there's a way.
This is, of course, costing us a fee with the attorney - but it's much less than the cost of a ticket to Orlando!!
