For future readers, many banks will offer an unsecured line of credit up to $25k.

Did you finance this deal with a local bank or credit union?

They should pay just like someone on a regular lease pays - cash or equivalent into your bank account. 

This deal was the catalyst that got me into the mortgage banking industry.

So I get that "lag" almost every time, plus I deal with our corporate bank... so they always have that lag. 

If you are willing to live in urban areas you may want to talk to a local bank in your market and see if they have any incentives or grant loans for certain areas.  

I contacted Buildium and they confirmed they do not offer credit card tracking, but offered a workaround which was to set up a credit card as a bank account, and when there is a balance it's just always negative in the bank account, and this would allow you to track individual purchases like it was a checking account.  

Best bet though is a local community business bank.. 

In the situation you're describing, all the leveraged owners of real estate will be the *first* ones to implode right off the bat (and have to turn over the keys to the bank).

Alternatively, if the bank ( assuming there is a bank) is fine with it, you could negotiate a credit and escrow the funds to be released after you do it yourself.
