Financial Accounts for Real Estate

[Matt Michaels]

Hi all - I am in the process of buying a duplex property within the Pittsburgh area, and wanted to gain expertise from the members of the BP community. As I am looking to start financing the deal, I was wondering if you had insights about starting a new checking account with my bank, specifically for real estate? I would imagine you need to open a new checking account or put the property into a LLC, but was wondering if you could provide a few nuggets of expertise.

Thanks in advance for the help!
