Hello Bigger Pockets Community,I have some multi family properties (total of eight units) and the property management company has a shared bank account so they can deposit rents and then debit expenses with co-sign ability.

My mind frame now has evolved from two years ago, and I now see the extra income as enabling greater security reserves, providing the ability to hire repair folks instead of DIY which saves personal time, and to improve the property more beyond the minimal.
