To make taxes easier we set up a business checking account and had all the rent paid into that account and all the expenses paid out of that account.

For instance, in cities with lots of medical clinics, salons, or hotels, AI automation could help businesses optimize daily operations, reduce costs, and provide better service.

Same principles apply - being busy will create opportunity. 

My significant other and I decided to use a builder she had done business with in the past.   

Which is a tax when you do an active business in your IRA but it is essentially the same thing. 

Lau, generally if you are financing with a commercial lender- we lend for business purpose only and a rental property would fall under that category.

Most businesses, property management or not, fail due to the lack of sales, not due to the lack of systems and phone etiquette.

If millenial homeowners can't even change their home's air filters, or snake a toilet, or change the oil in their car, that's guaranteed future business for HVAC companies, plumbers, mechanics, and those places all need a place to conduct business in.The commercial mortgage pricing software I use has somewhere around 50 different asset classes in it.

Kudos to you for doing something to create a secondary income stream. there are 5 income streams in RE rentals, possibly six if you do things a certain way.The reality here is your model (buy box) is suffering from too high an entry and too high a cost of capital.

My goal is to wholesale some properties single and multifamily to build some capital while fixing my personal credit and building my business credit.
