As far as the business card is concerned, to me personally I think having both things on one business card is acceptable .  

It’s usually best to open a separate business checking account so your rental income and expenses stay organized and away from personal funds.

I also believe that I should also invest is my business.

Depending on where the property is and the lender involved, and what he has told the lender, and so on and so on, you handle things accordingly.

It takes more effort and there's more risk involved (therefor more reward), but it just depends on your goals and how you want to get there.As far as focusing on areas with high demand for travel nurses, that's just 1 tenant-type of many in a changing landscape.

But sure as heck not impossible, it just takes a commitment to learning a very complex detailed facet of business and regulations. 

it was an interesting process but basically, the novation allowed us to get the deal done without having to involve the banks. this was a huge motivation. that way I save on having to close twice. 

Hey Sarah, if the seller has an agent, it’s best to go through them first since they’ll likely get involved anyway.For a property that’s been sitting on the market, approach with strategy.

I find that it's almost a one stop shop in that I can use it for my business checking and savings accounts, bookkeeping, for rent collection, I can issue virtual credit card, I can create all the financial reports I need to run my real estate business and prepare for tax filing and through their partners I can vet my tenants, develop state-specific leases and more.

My business is built around doing deals for out of state investors and my mind is BLOWN by how many flat out refuse to come visit, meet our staff or walk the property that they bought and we are rehabbing for them.
