At a high level, this is generally the path people take - we see a lot of people have success in this route - start building the portfolio with banks, low down payments, and then **generally** when you hit around 5 or so properties - it starts to make sense to switch over to LLCs, its too hard to qualify/deal with paperwork of banks and switch towards private lenders like DSCR Loans - (LLC friendly, easier) to scale past 5 or so.

Quote from @Nicholas Nocella: Hey all,I am a 24-year-old who just started in sales after graduating from college and have had a lot of success early on in my new career.

In the case of a successful tort against you, you might regret commingling funds in a single bank account, but I can't see how keeping them consistently separated would ever burn you, even if it is a bit less convenient.  

You say you are new to flipping so maybe consider teaming up with someone more experienced for your first flip to increase your success rate?  

Wishing you great success as you take actionable steps toward your goals!

Start small and consider areas like Georgetown, San Marcos, or San Antonio for more affordable opportunities and long-term success.

To me, success isn’t just about the end result—it’s about challenging ourselves, finding out just how far we can go, being grateful along the way, and helping others.

Not sure what suburbs you are referring to, but I have a lot of clients that are very successful investing in areas like McHenry, Woodstock, Elgin, Antioch, Mundelein, Belvedere, etc. 

Thanks for sharing and congrats on your success!

I have been successful in the San Diego market mostly doing brrrr.
