This is a very common way for people to investing using their retirement accounts.

I'm currently exploring opportunities in real estate, particularly in accounting roles.

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 that, you'll want to ensure your LLC is already set up and approved in the state where you’re operating.Most lenders are fine with the funds coming from your personal account, especially if the LLC is newly formed.

However, a good real estate accountant is worth what you pay them because they will save you time and money. 

I reconcile our trust account each month in about ½ an hour.

They don’t charge anything for these extra accounts, my tenants pay directly into those accounts.

My custodian does not have a money market or similar sweep account to keep idle cash earning.

I’ve got her dealing with 8 properties which have individual accounts.

@Rebecca GonaBigger Pockets is a great place to find a tax accountant that specializes in short-term rentals.
