My updated expected monthly rental income will be $2,800, resulting in a cash flow of $795 per month (excluding my share of the split utilities).I plan to set aside at least 80% of my cash flow for property-related expenses.Additionally, I’ll be installing keypads and security cameras for enhanced safety and operational efficiency.

Just make it digital so you can update it constantly.

Both are digital-first banks with minimal fees, and Mercury in particular offers free domestic and international wire transfers for most account holders.
