Pulling income out of my rental account

[Jean-Marie Poth]

I am a new landlord and my rental bank account is just starting to gain a little momentum.  I keep it separate from my personal accounts.  Apart from keeping what I need as far as mortgage, taxes, insurance, and cushions for the unknowns, how do I know how much I can actually start pulling as personal income into my own personal  bank account?  I have left it as its own entity since I started it a few months ago.

KEEP your estimated CapEx and a petty cash fund, but you can write yourself checks or auto-deposit the rest to your personal account (suggest a monthly figure).
