When applying for mortgages, all of his accounts were still at RBC and so the credit history remained abroad, as opposed to if he had switched his banking to Chase (which he did after he purchased).

@John Story: Also, I have shown I have money in one location (bank account) and decided to use money from a different source (sold stocks). 

This is getting ridiculous that everyone is being held hostage by these standards that don't take into account how it affects everyone involved.

Hi everyoneI need a reference for a business bank account for my LLC.As a non-U.S. citizen (South African/Netherlands), I am the sole member of a GA LLC, which owns a property in Atlanta.I am looking to open a bank account for the LLC (for rentals and expenses), and I was wondering whether anyone could give me a recommendation in this regard? 

I do see that there are quite a few variables to the equation that should be taken into account, so again my thanks for making me aware of these.  

We have consulted a tax accountant who says we will have a hefty capital gains tax should we decided to sell.

The home is settled like many older homes are and historically had carpet throughout on top of the old hardwood floor.

If you're currently paying $1,000 a month rent, keep paying that amount, even if it's to yourself (the house hack account), and save quicker.

Anyways, we put the account on a "budget" plan so that every month the bill is the same until it is rebalanced around the 3-month mark and then every 12 months.

Apologies in advance for my absolute ignorance with this stuff.1) We plan to purchase all cash in our names then transfer the property into an LLC that we haven't created yet, less for liability and more for tax purposes (our accountant vaguely suggested we should start an LLC that does really anything so that we are able to write off more home office, travel and equipment expenses that we can no longer do since recent tax changes).
