Hi everyone, I am curious if there are any industrial real estate operators on here. 

if you have an LLC and both properties are under it, you just need 1 operating account.If both are under your personal, 1 bank account specifically for the rental is enough for operating.Security Deposits should always be a separate account altogether.

The team sport model is how many syndications operate.

Hey Dan, renting to a sober living operator can be a great idea.

Hi Eric,Great question—estimating operating expenses can definitely be tricky, especially for items like maintenance, CapEx, and make-ready costs that vary widely between properties.

I have over 30 years experience in operating office buildings in NJ and would be will to run the operating arm of these investments for a % of the deals.

I’m currently operating in South Georgia market. 

Here is what the IRS says on the subject: Election for Husband and Wife Unincorporated Businesses A business owned and operated by the spouses through a limited liability company does not qualify for the election Only businesses that are owned and operated by spouses as co-owners (and not in the name of a state law entity) qualify for the election.

A knowledgeable attorney can advise here.Create a solid operating agreement: Since you own the condo with a friend, a clear operating agreement is essential to outline responsibilities, decision-making, and profit-sharing for the LLC.To save on costs:Look for real estate attorneys who specialize in investment properties and might offer package deals for the retitling, operating agreement, and filing the LLC.Shop around for title companies that can handle the transfer smoothly and provide competitive rates.Research DIY options for setting up the LLC if your situation is straightforward, though I’d still recommend a lawyer for the transfer process itself.Good luck with the process!

You didn't mention where you are operating, but depending on average home prices, I think you'll be ok.For instance if we're talkin $500k homes, and if you will get a 2.5% commission, split that 50/50 with your Broker, you will end up with $6,250 per sale, right?
