You get ONE paper statement, with each account identified and transactions that go with that account in its own section of that single statement.If you have to maintain separate escrow accounts for each tenant, then "relationship banking" is even more beneficial for all, because those escrow accounts sit there with zero activity, so why have to deal with all the extra statements.And if you go paperless, then this is even less of a factor to the banks; the account info is all computerized, and the computer could care less whether the accounts it has belong to one or a hundred people.However, the smaller bank, with just a couple of branches and the same people always there, just might look at your situation as Bill posted.

If you flip 5 properties and keep 5 properties as rentals in a given year, the 5 flipped properties will get taxed as business income (and be subjected to SET) and the 5 rentals will be classified as capital assets and will get taxed as such.That said, I believe that if there are properties where the IRS can't really determine if they are intended to be flips or rentals (intent does matter in this case), then the IRS can look at previous patterns by the taxpayer and make a general classification of "Dealer" to determine that all properties fit that criteria.But, if you segregate your properties properly (flips from one or more business entities and rentals from other business entities), you should be able to treat some properties as inventory (dealing) and some as rentals (capital assets).I'm not a tax professional, but that's how I understand it.
