I paid the full balance over the phone yesterday with my credit card.

You have to direct them to your website, and it is on your website that you convert them into a deal.People KEEP DOING THIS WRONG and it is ridiculous that people simply refuse to think.You are not going to convert people to sell their house to you  on a 4 x 6 inch shade yellow card.

We tend to always send a 'Thank You' card along with a small gift card to Target or Starbucks.

A small gift card and card would be good

HELLO EVERYBODY IM AT A STAND STILL HOPING SOMEBODY CAN GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ,CANT SEEM TO FIND THE RIGHT ANSWERS ANYWHERE.IM A BEGINNER AT REALESTATE INVESTING AND PLAN TO MOVE FORWARD SOON WITH PURCHASING PROPERTIES WITH BUSINESS CREDIT CARDS MEANING IM TAKING MONEY OFF A BUSINESS CREDIT CARD TO BUY AND REHAB A PROPERTY OR USE HARD MONEY TO BUY AND REHAB THE PROPERTY AND USE MY BUSINESS CREDIT/MONEY FOR THE CLOSING AND RESERVES.  

I paid for new floors out of pocket in May 2018 and am still out of pocket and on the hook with the credit card company  I told them I will not drop the matter no matter what they try. 

I am very diligent about saving money and found real estate as an avenue for investment that could produce a passive income if I played my cards right.

But AirBNB is free, other than the 3% credit card charge which you cannot escape no matter where you get guests.At the end of the day, having two listing companies is no more work than one.

i keep my my credit cards at 0 balance and at least six months of my nut in savings.
