Section 8 tenants but have potential with the CC-3-6 zoning.

They can also do one-time credit card payments and the CC processing fee is paid by the tenant. 

Brian C is right, now our area is hard to cash flow.

Mind you, he also made us pay off $9K in CC debt.

When I had a lot of debt from my second house hack, we moved it to a zero interest CC and made it a point to pay it down as quickly as possible.Regarding your first investment property, can you house hack and get a cosigner?

I have enough cash to completely pay it off, but would basically wipe out all my savings, wanted to get an opinion on my situation and if I should pay off the CC first, and then start saving again for the first property, or get my first property while still holding this debt (after saving up some more for reserves), and then put everything I was going to save for the next investment into paying it off over the next year.

If using CC, there is a charge.

Most out of state buyers like to buy near turnkey properties in B-/C+/C class areas.

Wouldn't it be easier to use a HELOQ, family member or CC to get this money?
