I don't accept credit card payments for this very reason.

Exchange rate is favorable too and the place is also well connected to other European cities.

If your rate is low on the 5 unit, I might consider the possibility of a line of credit for my equity instead of an entire new mortgage.  

Leave credit cards at home in the freezer in a bag filled with water that has frozen over....lolAmazes me how many people fall for these types of programs.When I buy NNN properties either my buyers wanting to own direct and I find the property or whether they are accredited LP investor on my syndication deals they learn with me while they INVEST CAPITAL to own fully themselves or a piece of the deal. 

I called Home Depot, they told me to dispute the credit card charges so I did.  

We bought it for $225k with a 3.125% mortgage and 1) are interested in keeping it as our first rental. 2) We are thinking about using some of the equity (maybe $50k or less as a HELOC to combine with existing cash for our next home down payment that we can convert to a HELOAN through our credit union).

When successful it is quite rewarding and can lead to favorable basis and financing opportunities but there are certainly risks and its important to have plenty of reserves and be realistic with time frames.

We have some credit card debt we are hyper focused on paying down , and 34K in my student loans (not touching currently due to SAVE plan with the zero percent interest).

Most of my clients run their SFRs at a 25%-30% (excluding vacancy/credit loss) operating expense margin and most of the banks I deal with on their DSCR loans underwrite using 35%.

Also remember just because a loan may qualify as being assumable the lender will go through a thorough underwriting process to confirm you meet eligibility for the loan.I have seen a guru teaching people with poor credit to go after these types of loans and it’s unfortunate as many would most likely not qualify.
