I used to write cc checks for down payments on my seller-carry loans or for a home my wife and I were buying separately conventionally.  

The CC debts would take 1.5 months of income.

Between the tools they give me for screening applicants, and the ACH/CC automated payments, my business takes less than half the time it used to regarding tenant management.

My business cc doesn't show up on my personal credit report.If your going to be purchasing properties with your LLC you will still have to personally guarantee the loan but it will not show up on your personal credit report.If you have really good credit you may also be able to set up a business line of credit with a local bank as long as you sign a personal guarantee.Your bank is going to want your tax ID as well as your "Article of incorporation" and your "Operating Agreement" for you LLC before they will loan money to you.

I agree, It just didn't seem right using a cc, so i DIDN'T thanks for the confirmation.James

Maybe consider streamlining your cash-outflow a little... get rid of the car loan (sell car, get less expensive car), get rid of the cc debt, build a cash buffer.

I was fortunate that my parents helped me open a CC account when I was young to build up credit.

So I am looking for new software and wanted to ask for your thoughts.There are a few things I am trying to do:- Manage multiple properties through multiple LLCs- Keep track of invoices and payments from tenants (bonus points for accepting CC payments)- Automatically be notified of late rent payments and apply late fees- Give a book-keeper access so they can keep all the accounts reconciled- Be able to hand off data to my accountants at the end of the year- Online only preferred, but could download a client to my Mac if neededHopefully that’s not too tall of an order.  

@Bill Chausse all in C-/C+ areas.

If you go with CC or PA TX, you definitely want to decorate your STRs like Hugh Hefner's mansion.
