Thrya,Congrats, let me know if you need any assistance for the accounting aspect.First, put each property in its own LLC and open a bank account for each LLC.You do not need to create an LLC for Property Management, you can, but it's not necessary.You need to make sure you have the proper Chart of Accounts such as Assets, Liability, CapEx, OpEx, G&A Exp, and Equity.Chances are you will be putting the majority of the expenses under CapEx since you're renovating, once it becomes rental, the expenses will be OpEx.
