@Ryan Vienneau I'm a Buildium customer too, and it blows my mind they don't have credit card tracking in 2017.

I did a mix of hard money loan and 0% business credit cards.

What are out of state investors doing in Cuyahoga County if they don't have a property manager? Where do you find a LOIC? Is property management the only way to make this work?

Many CPAs charge $500-$1,500 for a rental tax return.3.

Bring business cards that at least have your name, address, phone, and email. 

You should never use a debit card or pay for medical expenses from your HSA, ever!

While you save up work on building up your credit history with a credit card.

Either that, or 0% credit cards combined with the personal loan if you feel that you can liquidate the property before the credit card intro periods expire. 

Then there you go.One thing I am looking to try to do but haven't done yet is buy something with zero down on seller finance, put the rehab on a 0% credit card, then refi the seller off in 12 months and pay back the card. 

The credit cards can be stifling, but in the grand scheme of things, $40K isn't a ridiculous amount.
