I'm looking for some collective wisdom to chime in with their own experience on this.

TLDR: Lesson Learned: If you are buying a property to house hack and the unit you intend to move into is occupied with tenants and collecting rent after closing, then for tax purposes, it will be considered a short term rental.

I would absolutely look to turbotenant.com, hemlane.com or cozy.co they each offer similar services, but marketing, online rent collections, credit/background checks, maintenance work orders etc.

Will the payment on that mortgage you'll be carrying be better than the rent you are currently collecting?

I just want to show proof that the house is indeed part of the LLc and the rent that's collected is going towards the LLC.

But when you have the government telling me I can't collect rent and other Government officials are pushing for 'rent forgiveness' we are screwed.

First and foremost I would hire a bookkeeper to do this who knows real estate and talk to your accountantbut typically If you have an LLC management company and theY collect the money, and the properties are owned by the LLC, the tenant would pay the Property management company and the property management company would pay the LLC who owns the property.

I've heard of using List Source as a tool to collect addresses of properties. 

If it burned to the ground, they are no longer the owners and cannot collect. 

Look at the landlords that aren't collecting rent due to covid.
