ADeposit funds into the owner's personal bank account
BMaintain these funds in a separate trust account✓ Correct
CRetain funds in the property manager's operating account until disbursement
DForward all funds to the owner within 24 hours of receipt

Explanation

Iowa law requires property managers who handle client funds (rents, security deposits) to maintain these in a separate trust or escrow account, completely separate from operating funds. This prevents commingling and protects the owners' and tenants' funds.
