Here’s what to keep in mind:Between LLCs: Use formal loans or inter-company agreements to transfer funds, ensuring documentation to avoid co-mingling issues that could affect liability protection.Personal to LLC: Deposit personal funds as a capital contribution or loan to the LLC.

I would increase their deposit by that amount to ensure you have enough to cover an empty tank and a month of lost rent.

This method is simple, free, and fast.You could also provide deposit slips, so tenants can deliver their payment directly to the bank.

Often there is a process to withhold rent and deposit it with the court until the issue is resolved.

For many owners, this is a win.Other owners may value the consistent monthly deposits rather than worrying about the usually seasonal STR incomes. 

@Danny RandolphYeah, I’m currently in the construction field and we usually get a 20-40% deposit, then get draws after certain stages/inspections have been passed

Some allow cash, most require the 10% deposit to be paid with a certified check made out to the referee but there is no verification of funds.

Once approved, how fast does your policy dictate that they have to give you a deposit? 

SEO, cold calling, networking, hitting up probate attorneys, hanging outside the funeral parlor..... ok maybe not that one but point is the strategies are all but endless AND THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. 

Cash flow is the amount left over that you deposit into your real estate-only account.
