Since living here I’ve put in a new HVAC in both units and kitchen into one unit, I’ve max out my credit card, and have had my parents help me.

After I got good at pulling leads that work, I can switch that ratio and spend $3 on leads and $7 on sending something to those leads;  post cards, sms, rvm, cold calling.   

It is legal as long as you use a convenience check from card #2 for the amount owed on card #1 into your bank account and then write the check from your bank account to pay off card#1.

The more complicated your business structure becomes, the more problems it can actually cause such as when looking for lending options, getting the best interest rate, keeping clean accounting, filing taxes, opening bank accounts, getting credit cards, executing a 1031, making title insurance claims or even triggering a due on sale clause, etc. 

That said, a good place to start for many investors is with Lowes/Home Depot credit cards.
