I'm sure you're well aware that it is extremely rare for a lead to want to transact immediately.

Was the business credit enough to put towards a deal? 

Must have tools: you need some type of evaluation metric and/or tool that you are comfortable with and are willing to walk about from a deal if it doesn't meet your requirements.also, a deal is a term for a transaction, not to be confused with a "good deal".

The purpose of any business is to grow. 

I wish I had another work around for you, but I actually stopped using my business CC all together just to avoid the PITA "hacks" they offered as solutions. 

Someone like him is a good resource for questions like this as he guides you through the transaction.

@Brett Coultas if you're a newbie, you want to be careful of an "investor friendly" agent selling you something they truly don't understand:(95+% of agents only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions - you can verify this by asking them calculate ROI for you or Cash-On-Cash!

Also be open to knowing that you are acquiring a series of problems.You're in the solution business. 

If you don't rebuild or replace, the transaction is taxable. 

Very Simple @Jaren Taylor.You need an SEC attorney that specializes in Syndicates  and more than likely a transaction attorney to set these up for you.
