Setting up a Checking/Savings Account for Rental

[Thomas O'Donnell]

I am looking to set up an account at a bank different than my personal one for rental property expenses/income and savings. However most places are saying I need an LLC In order to use the accounts for a rental property. Is there a way around this to have separate accounts for your property without having to create an LLC? I figure since it would be a "business account" than an LLC is needed. However I wasn't planning on setting up an LLC until I had a few properties under my belt. Any advice?
