If you have joint ownership in an LLC for example, income will passthrough to each partner.

That option needs to remain with the landlord as they have the ultimate duty of ensuring the property is leased properly.If you can, start looking for potential sublease options now and apply jointly.  

Our plan was to buy the property with the original LLC and get a commercial loan with the original LLC (the title and credit will be under me and my originals partner's LLC) Once we do that we plan to form a Joint Venture where all of the income and proceeds of this property will live and it will include the foreign national members. 

Our loan officer suggested putting me on my partners bank accounts so we are joint co owners.

@Sylwia LeczyckaI would recommend that they pay by check or ach payment as much as possible.

A building science book I read years ago states that you can't prevent concrete from cracking but only control the areas it cracks by installation of contraction joints.

Capital investing, joint venture/partnerships etc..

I use Apartments.com's payment system, or set up an ACH.

I am trying to find a simple, affordable software that will allow me manage our tenants - collect rent via ACH, background/credit check, tenant portal, etc.
