However, I have two types of clients that relate to this scenario: 1) The client who is over protective, and puts each one of their rental properties into its own LLC/Trust and 2) The client is who focused on simplicity, and puts all rental properties under the same umbrella.Neither one is right or wrong, it just depends on what is important to you.

Get a good CPA who's knowledgeable about your type of business.

More specifically, my questions would be:What type of account(s) do I put the money I save for maintenance, vacancy, capital expenditures, etc. into?

That is real estate ; ) Also, choosing the type of property, working with vendors on behalf of the owner to facilitate repairs and renovations is also real estate.

Many options to do this and push prospects to "open-house" type showings if you want.ShowMojo, ShowingHero, TenantTurner, Rently, etc.

These 2 are not the same.From the website examples shown,  you can clearly see they have both types of credibility covered.3) Understand the process, understand the contracts, and practice looking and sounding confident and knowledgeable.Now you are ready to open your doors and have prospects discover you.Without this, you are wasting your time and effort,  looking for leads.There is more to this but those are the basics for starting.

@Mario Am Property Management will make or break these types of deals. 

Im new to investing and are looking to understand what the type of loans are available to buy rental property (single, multi family home etc).

Your cash and financing will dictate the size and type of deals you do.
