I have spent eons of hours on the internet and everyone that promises free advice or properties search had a little box asking for credit card information.

I recently posted my story of selling a rental property for $1000 down, and it occurred to me that the buyer may have just put the downpayment on a credit card.

This would probably be for those investors chasing foreclosures with there numerious letters and post cards.

Send out personal handwritten cards announcing your services.

At that point, I would have missed an opportunity to re-finance and pay of my last two credit cards at a decent rate.Help!

Post-cards with a nice graphic typically work best.

It turned out that for 3 of them the inheritance just got put into their family portfolio, for the 4th it paid off credit cards and car notes.

Same with another company you may have heard of-- can you imagine an airline using one of its founder's personal credit cards to buy jet fuel?

What I was told was to open one credit card and begin to use it to establish credit.

We basically would need to finance $133,500 total to have enough money for repairs, we guess, but a normal mortgage won’t let us go above the sales price of $113,500, obviously.We could mortgage & put the repairs on a credit card, but short term the cash flow of the house would not let us pay the credit card off quick enough.The seller cannot finance at all since he needs to pay heirs, so he needs the $113,500 at closing.I do not yet have any private investors.Any help/guidance/suggestions we would greatly appreciate!
