As I see it, consolidating all of our assets under a single holding company offers numerous benefits, including tax advantages, better lending oppurtites, and possibly more liability protection. 

You can use this cash for any purpose, such as home renovations, debt consolidation, or paying for major expenses.

Additionally, we offer free rental checking accounts which makes vendor payments, payments easy and all consolidated in one platform.There are a few features you are looking for will become available only in the next 2-4 months, namely document management, maintenance requests and communications.

Would prefer to consolidate the process as much as possible. 

And maybe look at doing a consolidation exchange to use all of that equity to  buy something larger where you can start to get economies of scale.

I guess the main reason they would want a site is for something that will consolidate all their properties under 1 brand name that they can post on face book and other sites or give to friends and family.

@Josh Hollman To tackle your $100K credit card debt and prepare for a second rental, consider using a HELOC or Home Equity Loan on your primary residence to consolidate the debt at a lower interest rate.

You have to also consider that over 85% of people who take out a Heloc end up doing a refinance in 3 years to consolidate the Heloc into one mortgage. 

I do have a handful of clients that have ended up using multiple CPAs just due to who their partners were on different deals, and even in those cases they almost always end up consolidating to a single CPA - taxes are enough of a headache without dealing with 3 different professionals who each only have a slice of the whole picture.If you are going to regularly be investing across the country, it doesn't hurt to work with a firm that has State and Local Tax (often referred to as "SALT") internal resources, though typically this does come from larger firms with larger fees. 

Derek, so assuming I get a 300K from equity via cash-out refi and I purchase a new property in full cash with no mortgage but with enough monthly cash flow to cover the new loan amount of $494 K ($194K + $300K), wouldn't it be okay to take this consolidated approach with one loan with two cash-flowing properties covering the monthly mortgage and other expenses?
