You would be way better off banking the warranty money in a "repairs" account.

The package passed the Senate and received a lot of news coverage because of it the Child Tax Credit that would have benefited tax filers with kids.

A sign company gets one credit for a sign that is torn down and have up to 3 years or so to erect another or they lose that credit. 

Make sure you are accounting for renovated properties as opposed to outdated ones as well.

When that time comes, the TV automatically logs off all accounts. 

It's going to be a factor almost anywhere you'd invest, but just make sure to add a bit of cushion into your costs to account for increasing premiums.

I have access to my local credit union and small regional bank as well.Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks,Hillary 

Just run search on Residential to create a fairly good-sized list of active listings, then look for the Realtor designation, or lack there-of, then note the brokerage name and contact info and contact them directly.If you are not concerned about discount CE credits, using certain features like RPR, or becoming a GRI, etc., then my guess is you will save a fair amount of money (my annual board fees were $620). 

My questions are: Are they any implications (tax or otherwise) if after the funds are paid into the business account and my friend writes a check to their personal account from the LLC to get his money out?  

The key will be ensuring you have a good enough (1-1 or higher ideally) DSCR ratio in addition to a strong credit score.
