We have a sizable amount of cash for a down payment, but does this need to be somehow tied to the LLC, other than in our personal bank accounts, prior to going apply for a mortgage?

But since I owned multiple units that were collecting income I could go through the eviction process without any repercussions of my personal bank account.  

So many people report amazing income with their vacation rentals but they fail to account for all the costs.

I am a newbie investor, who is trying to invest from out of state and for me the most challenging is getting a good team of people set up (i.e. property manager, contractors, loan officers, accountants, lawyers, etc.).

On right side of the violation there willbe a link to pay on line.You will need to create an account first.   

Do investors park their money in some magical savings account with a decent interest rate that I am unaware of?

If you do that though you can't actually take out any of the cashflow...because the problem with CapEx is that it doesn't actually cost just 8% of your rent. when it come it comes big and heavy, so you'll need to be able to build up to having that reserve account...some people like to gamble and will take it out...I personally don't recommend taking cashflows from your real estate until you're much further along with much larger reserves.

Check on website if yours does.For us Landlords with a business account it is a bit complicated Wells Fargo my bank only allow Zelle transfers into personal accounts.

If you have purchased landlord form(s) already, you can expect to see a credit for the cost of the landlord form(s) applied to your Pro account renewal.

Advice on how you sort the data and the key columns you take in to account, would be a huge help.Thank you,Ryan
