This separation helps in maintaining clear financial records and simplifies tax reporting and financial management.Setting up an escrow account specifically for rental income within your LLC can offer several benefits:Financial Clarity: It separates rent payments from other operational expenses, making it easier to track income and expenses related to the rental property.Legal and Compliance: Helps in demonstrating that rental income is kept distinct from personal or other business funds, which can be important for legal and tax compliance purposes.Tenant Transparency: It provides transparency to tenants and other stakeholders regarding where rental payments are deposited and how they are managed.While it may not be a legal requirement in all cases, maintaining an escrow account specifically for rental income is a prudent practice that many experienced investors and landlords follow.

So I met with a gentleman yesterday who is an Executive and Business Coach.

But we have a 2.25% interest rate on this house that would cost a lot to try to buy down to that rate in today's market.Just something to think about as you are looking at properties, maybe ask the seller or listing agent if it is possibly a VA loan and how you might be able to make a deal if they have a great rate already.

Hey Bigger Pockets Family, I recently moved to Denver, CO from Tacoma, WA where my business partner and I used to fix & flip properties.

My main concern is the cost of turning the property into a MTR especially with this being my first property.

The contractor will be your best resource to understand cost of the design; the earlier you identify value engineering opportunities, the cheaper it will cost to incorporate (Google: ‘Macleamy Curve’).

If the property can be respectably sold for $250 you have to be all in at around $200 including the commission and carry cost.

If the pricewould have been $20k less I would have been good with just a VA loan.So depending if you're looking at a larger more expensive house, I wouldn't refi the 1st one as I'm sure your interest rate is pretty low, plus adding closing cost would add more $ being refinanced.

What’s the best way to remodel this that will be the most cost effective?

Now that there is no overhead cost of the mortgage, how much should I charge my tenants?
