Keep in mind, we are at the top of the market cycle, inventory is low, and interest rates are creeping up.

This helps me keep track of things and gives me peace of mind to know that I have money set aside for costs as they come up.I maintain the below account structure in my personal banking for the rentals I have in my personal name and also for the accounts of my LLC.

Great advice so far, and also, keep in mind that most states do not allow you to charge for any cleaning or work you did yourself.
