Do you have a business checking account?
Hi all! I am just about to buy my first property in the Austin area, and I want to make sure I have everything I need in place before closing. I am looking to set up a checking account so I can keep my finances separate from my investing. My question is do you have a business account or did you just open up a personal account? I will not have an LLC or any other official business entity.
Please let me know if there are other factors I should be considering!

I'll definitely be creating a separate account but I am wondering if I should open a specific "Business Checking account" or just another personal checking account?
