Do you all have one bank account out of which you pay mortgage and receive rent (by property)? Just curious what ppl do in practice. I currently get rent in one account but pay PITI out of another. The one I get rent in has a higher interest rate. But thinking I should just move everything to one account? Does this matter if future lenders are looking at rental income?

Yes. But a different operating account for each property. One of our lenders stopped escrowing insurance and taxes for one of our properties, so I set up a separate business savings account for that, where we essentially escrow our own funds for that after the lender stopped doing it.

Though the problem with that is the moral hazard that comes with it: using the funds for other things anticipating you’ll refresh the self-imposed escrow account.

I have it set up that each property’s rental income goes to a separate virtual account. The mortgages comes out of a single operating account which gets money transferred from each account in the amount of the mortgage.

This makes it really easy for bookkeeping and tracking income and expenses for each individual property.

as another fish. have 13k left in car payments for another 40+ months, would you recommend doing a 10k onetime payment or investing that 10k instead. better to lower debt or keep paying monthly cost

How would you allocate $200K today, knowing (1) this is in addition to your HYSA, investment, 401K.. (2) you have no immediate use (3) if we see a drop in real estate price in the next 1-2 yr timeframe, this could be part of your down payment for a house in HCOL
