I called them and they said they cannot open a bank account in such a way that the owner of one bank account is another LLC entity (holding/parent), it has to be a person owning the account.How do you open a bank account in this situation, which banks have you opened an account with the above setup?

@Jonathan Mills For countertops, I would personally go with granite.

I also recommend to talk to the contractor in person because there's for us it's a gut feeling if we feel we can trust someGood luck.

And while grabbing an owner-occupied loan is typically a non-starter in a standard 1031 transaction, this is a mixed use property that does include a personal residence portion. 

Personally my realtor is always on the lookout for great deals for me.

Take advantage of it and have your maintenance person or property manager go and check things out at your property. 

House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

So what I'm saying is just loading up your Gatling gun with money and spraying it at the problem may have little effect if the committee is hard-nosed to you personally, alcohol establishments, or just everything in general.

Have you seen it in person?
