1.Always treat it as a business.

They treat it as their own, which if, of course, how we would like all our tenants to treat the property regardless of how much rent they pay.

I'm trying to keep everything "separate" and treat it like a business, but with a new business checking account and deposit hold times, it will cause a bit of a delay in paying my attorney.

If you act like an active client, a good agent will treat you like an active client. 

My point is that I was treating this situation like I would with any other tenant and it's not working!

Any cash taken out or any amount purchased less than what you sold is treated as taking profit until you have reached the full amount of your profit.

I hope the tenants treat it with suitable respect.

@Ernest QuallisA single member LLC can elect to be treated as a disregarded entity or as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

All I can do is keep on treating people the way that i would like to be treated.  

Whenever I am renovating I always think of how will the tenants treat this, how easy have I left it for repairs.One key tip is to leave an access door in common places, say behind the plumbing for a shower.
