(I paid $58 in fees just for a single booking of 2-3 nights)  At least AirBNB and VRBO process the credit cards and I don't have to worry about having a stranger's sensitive information in my possession, much less have to pester them for a billing zip code or CVC number because Booking.com didn't give it to me.

The truth is the best fico scores are obtained at 0-10% of utilization but that the affect on your credit scores is not so harsh till you exceed 30% so thats probably why people talk about 30% so much.Depending on where your fico scores are right now you may want to plan accordingly to keep that fico high through out your rehab otherwise you endanger your rate/pricing for your exit refinance atleast with respect to conventional agency financing (fannie/freddie).One other solution is to utilize commercial or local portfolio financing similar to what @Brie Schmidt does as portfolio financing is not sensitive about short term drops in fico  as much as conventional agency loan products.On my own projects I keep around all options (portfolio, commercial, agency, etc) just to have plan A, B,C, D....Best of luck,
