Post: Collecting Rent Thru Personal Acct For My LLC

@Jessica Zolotorofe Everything else will be paid for out of my business account. My systems are in place for XYZ. 

Collecting rent is a giant time suck. There's no reason why tenants, as I've done before as a tenant, can't deposit the rent themselves.

@Jessica Zolotorofe @Mark S. @Russell Brazil One of those questions I already knew the answer too, but asked anyways. Ha!

Thank you for the responses I'll open up a business account at BofA and give "the big bank" more of my money.

Situation: I have 4 properties under a commercial loan at a local bank in KC. I'm unable to have myself or anyone collect rent as I work abroad. I'm going to be instructing my tenants they'll need to deposit the rent into my account themselves each month. The commercial bank doesn't have branches near my 4 rentals. There's a BofA branch 5min away from these rentals for which I have a personal savings and checking account.

I could always open up a business account at BofA, but they probably charge fees, minimum balance requirement, etc, etc.

I'm wondering what the tax implications would be if I had my tenants deposit into my personal BofA checking account and then I'd wire the money to my business account at the other bank? Do they need to make the check out to my business or my name since I'm the managing member of the LLC?

 I was. Guess I'll list with Zillow then...?

Closing on a house tomorrow that's vacant. It's rent ready, but I'm wondering what sites in Kansas City work best. Sites I'm going to list are:

- Craigslist

- Zillow

- HotPads

Any others that get traction in KC?

Is Postlets worth it?

Issue is that the contract says one date, 12/30 and the payment and closing will be after that date. Not kosher for the title company. The title company can't hold onto the funds. All sorted now though.

Bank hasn't released any monies. 

I'm also not using an attorney. There's already enough middlemen/women... ;-)

 So... my bank has to transfer the funds to the title company. The title company isn't allowed to hold the money for more than a day. 

I had to redo the sales contract. 

Oh well.

I'm sorry, you still lost me. The contract says you have to close in December but he wants to close Jan 1? The contract date itself doesn't matter at this point. It doesn't have an impact on taxes (double check with your accountant, but I'm fairly certain), only the date he actually incurs the gain, which would be the date he gets the money and you get the deed. The only reason the contract itself would have to be amended is if it made time of the essence to close by the end of December or if you waive your right to purchase if some event doesn't occur prior to January 1. If neither of those are an issue, you can just have the seller date the deed Jan 1, have the lawyer or title company fund on that date and hold everything you sign in advance in escrow until Jan 1 and you authorize them to break escrow, pay the seller and record the deed on that date.  

 Excellent. We'll have the deed and the fund date be January 1st. 

Thank you Jessica!

Are we talking about the CONTRACT or the closing documents? Seems like @Wayne Brooks is referring to closing docs. The contract  itself wouldn't trigger cap gains tax, I don't think, only the transfer of title should. So, if you meant the actual closing, Wayne is right. Just sign in advance and your title company or lawyer can even date for you on the actual closing date. Is that what you meant?

 Sales contract. We signed one for December 30th that we currently have executed. He's asked to amend or resubmit a new contract, so he can get out of paying capital gains so soon, etc, etc. 

I'd still like to sign the contract and have the sale go into effect January 1st...
