Here are a few tips:Asset Management: Holding your property in the LLC can protect your personal assets, but check with an attorney or CPA to ensure it’s set up correctly and complies with local laws.Rent Collection: Collecting rent through the LLC simplifies accounting and keeps personal and business finances separate, which is a big plus for taxes and liability.Property Management: Since you’re self-managing, the LLC can be used to formalize agreements, pay vendors, and manage expenses—treating it like a professional operation.Just make sure to consult an attorney or accountant to align your setup with your goals.

How Do You Ensure Quality Tenants?

This includes contacting the applicant’s employer and speaking with their supervisor to confirm job stability, income, and reliability. if the person has not been employed at their place of employment they would require a guarantorCredit Score and Debts: Applicants need a minimum credit score of 620, and while we review debts, medical debts are generally not disqualifying unless they impact overall financial health.Criminal History: We do review criminal history to ensure safety and security for our tenants, while remaining mindful of state and federal guidelines.Rental History: Positive references from past landlords, with no evictions or significant lease violations in the past five years, are essential. and we can see into the court system if they have an eviction judgement.Release of Information: We include a release form allowing us to verify employment and rental history directly, which helps us get a clearer picture of an applicant’s background.This process has worked well so far, but I’m always open to improving.
