Keeps things separate for bookkeeping and records purposes, as well as providing the extra layer of protection, like @Nathan Click mentioned.

You'll learn about persuasion, presentation, negotiation and marketing and enough about bookkeeping to be able to find a CPA later, and it will help you be an even better real estate agent.Even if you only knock out 2-4 classes a year, you will eventually finish, and it's an important checkbox to get your resume read if you ever need to pick up additional income or benefits with a day job.

@Robert CaturanoMost multi-family property owners should have some sort of bookkeeping/record keeping.

I make decisions about when to evict, when to raise rent, and do all of the bookkeeping on my own.
