Seems like a no-brainer if it'll just facilitate the financing process later down the road.

Internally, this means they can document the business account requirement as in place to "facilitate that annual audit" of the business, and not as a high pressure cross-selling technique, in order to have their ducks in a row in case THEIR books are audited, and there potentially might not be a thing you could do about it. 

Brand new here, and I don't have a specific timeline or plan for seeking financing - could be first home purchase of SF or MF, and I also have a business for which I might want to get a line of credit at some point - but in the meantime I thought it might be a good idea to join a local credit union to facilitate future plans if folks here have any that they strongly recommend.

“Our legislation would not only strengthen disclosure requirements and protections for homebuyers, but also help expose bad actors and facilitate their prosecution.”John Henneberger, co-director of the Texas Low Income Housing Information Service said: “These bills will help consumers be more informed about risky wrap-around mortgages and better protected from unscrupulous lenders.”Trish McAllister, executive director of the Texas Access to Justice Commission, added that the legislation will help families stay in their homes.

Because the goal of a real estate developer is to generate profit, not to facilitate someone else's needs.
