Bank Accounts For Properties

Bank Accounts For Properties

What bank does everyone use for their properties? I am in the middle of changing personal banks and I'd like to be with a bank that allows to open up a new savings account for each property and hopefully earn a little bit on money in interest as well. It would be nice to see everything on one page and move money back and forth.

I am not sure where you are located but here in S. Alabama most of the credit unions automatically open a savings account with every checking account you open. And most only require like $5-$10 to open each account. If you are thinking of implementing Profit First in your business, I'd be glad to share with you a list of Profit First friendly banks all over the U.S. Good Luck!

    Did you create a business entity for your real estate investments like an LLC or are you just buying them in your own name?

    @Riane Sharp own name first.

    @Tim Kappel Do you keep it in your name for a certain period of time or quit claim deed over it to a LLC immediately after?

    @Riane Sharp I'm imagining that each bank is different on their rules but yes I'd like to transfer to LLC as soon as possible.

    @Dee Dee Huey we have a few credit unions here in St. Louis, MO. I didn’t even think about them!

    I would strongly suggest creating at least one LLC to hold several properties. I don't know a real estate investor who doesn't do it this way.

    @Tim Kappel,

    I would highly recommend you check out First Internet Bank.

    They take a while to open accounts, but they have some of the highest interest bearing accounts and you can create as many checking and savings accounts as you’d want.

    They also have some pretty cool budgeting features - they’re a great bank for setting up Profit First.
