I believe that a personal account will work but you might want to have a dedicated personal account for tax purposes.

 

It would be helpful in simplifying your accounting.

 

It’s also a good idea to have a credit card that you use only for business. You will get an itemized yearly statement that can go right into your tax calculations.

If you plan to host for one or more properties over several years a second account and separate credit card is a good idea, whether personal or business.  As my properties have tax IDs and I report to several different agencies, I chose a business account.
