I have on rental property. Is it best to set up an LLC for it, separate bank account, credit cards etc? What do folks recommend? Thinking it’s the easiest way you can track income/expense.

Definitely separate bank account and credit card. I don’t do LLCs as I’d have to refinance to an investment loan/rate. I just got umbrella insurance. I think it was about $600/year for $2M in coverage.

Definitely its own LLC. And separate bank account. Now, what is important is your state. If you plan on buying more properties there and the state allows for series LLCs do that. Feel free to DM me if you’ve more questions. I can talk about this stuff all day.

You’ll likely have to redo your loan documents and get approval from your lender. It might make more sense to do this when you refinance. One option though is instead of transferring the property to an LLC—which likely cause a change of ownership under your loan documents and cause the loan to immediately due and payable (from personal experience, they never check) you can use a land trust which won’t usually trigger a due on sale clause and still keeps your property separate from you for personal liability purposes. But make sure your insurer is on board and changes that policy.

As mentioned above, you can. I put most of my cash into HYSA despite having several properties. I simply track everything with a spreadsheet so I know exactly what’s what. As long as you’re claiming your income/tracking deductions accurately it’s not necessary imo.

Great question! And without getting too much into monetary policy.... Fed rates are set by the Federal Reserve which banks use to charge each other to borrow money. A lot of times these rates move together, however, a Fed rate increase does not instantaneously change the rates the bank offers.

Other types of savings account have seen an increase this year such as online savings accounts and fixed annuities.

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
