What do you do to protect the legal integrity of your LLC?
I have created a LLC for holding a piece of rental real estate in Florida. I want to make sure I take the proper steps to keep my LLC as a separate entity then myself, what should I do other then the steps I have listed below?
Also- I purchased the property in the name of my LLC, but used my personal bank account to physically wire money to the title company. Is this ok? How should I record this transaction?
Things I think I should do:
1) Conduct regular meetings and record minutes
2) Use a Florida registered agent
3) Keep a separate bank account for the LLC and only use it for business expenses
4) Hold a operating agreement
5) Do I need to use "Quickbooks" or other professional accounting software to record expenses/revenues?

I agree Bill Gulley a personal guarantee in no way co-mingles funds. It is just that a personal guarantee is used to get around the limited liability.
A newly formed business or new investor is not likely to avoid a personal guarantee especially on big ticket items. In time though it may be possible to avoid a personal guarantee and it makes it harder to pierce the LLC and attach your personal assets.
