I'm looking into the best method for me to keep the rental property income and expenses separate from my personal accounts to make my life easier at tax time.

We previously decided to try the sell by owner method and elected a buyer in November 2017.

My husband lost his job and I didnt want to get behind on the rent so I moved.. keep the security deposit..

Since it's a grandma special, I secured a conventional loan for the home for just the purchase price. 

We do so by utilizing all possible forms of technology (email, video conferencing, secure document sharing, cloud based accounting and tax software, etc).

You don’t want the hassle of securing that type of information online.

I am wanting to build a rental portfolio of single family houses with the BRRRR method. 

He has scholarships and federal unsubsidized loans that cover full tuition, fees and some room and board...but not all.Prob going to need around $20k for college.I have secured a $30k loan using the property for collateral to cover the college expenses.What would you do with the $30k?

This method will almost always give you positive cash flow but you will end up being a little closer in proximity to your tenants which can be a downside for some people.

Something short term, with a 12 month payback that is secured by real estate should you need to foreclose.
