Since i had capital and had access to my commercial banks for the best rates possible on vertical and horizontal loans..

Most banks don't really know how to do that because they cater to SFH owner-occupants. 

Hey @Brett RiemensniderThere are a TON of banks/credit unions that will offer as low as Prime on a heloc on your primary residence.

I think the LLC also makes it easier to open a local bank account, which is convenient to pay utilities or other local bills or your property manager, etc.  

Lenders will want to see those funds deposited in a bank or other lending institution on one or two monthly statements.

The real property investment can be repositioned if it proves disappointing in its original form; it can be refinanced or recapitalized if it has too much or too e pensive debt; inflation over time bales out many bad purchases, and finally the investors knowledge, experience and abilities can be leveraged to turn around a cash flow negative property.I’ll provide an exampleThree years ago we purchased a note from a bank secured by two auto repair facilities with a large amount of excess land.  

Are you going to keep the separate bank account, keep corporate minutes?

@Laurens Van swol a few banks that we've worked with in the past allow you to close in your personal name.

I recommend you figure out what you want to do, then actually do it to see if you enjoy it, have some skills, etc.

Go to small local/regional banks NOT national ones.
