Maybe a HELOC because it's in your account.

I have a priority credit line on my brokerage account that is now > 1% lower interest rate than my mortgage.

For residential mortgage, an LLC needs two years of its own tax returns or occasionally, a local credit union where you have an account will ok it.The bigger question is about your partnership.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

It's something you want to account for in advance since it is technically not allowed.

I.e. a group that was getting 30+% returns out of a 2017 acquisition with a sale in 2019, should be looked at loosely against other sponsors with deals of similar acquisition date, as general market timing is really going to be 90% of the overall return, with the operations only accounting for a small part of the overall return.  

Just keep in mind, the costs of setting up and maintaining an LLC and the bank account that goes with it, not exorbitant but important to consider.I'm not a CPA or an attorney, but I would suggest taking the time to diligently put together a trusted team to facilitate your long and successful investment journey!

I was told by my tax person that I can only deduct a percentage and not the total cost of the remodel.Thank youI am not sure why your accountant would mention you can only deduct a percentage.

They don't build a proper reserve, failing to account for turnover costs, vacancies, capex, etc.
