I prefer the card to the coin-op, even in a smaller property.

So your thinking when they raise everyone's credit card limit, that people will spend LESS....

I only have credit card debt with a minimum monthly payment of under $300. 

You'll see a lot of vans & trucks with no business names on them - these are the guys to approach as they're hard working and not spending money (yours) on advertising.Be prepared, most won't have business cards and may not be friendly.Persist and you will start to build your crew.

If tenant wants to use credit card, Zillow charges the tenant the additional processing fee, so you still get your full rent amount.

Hi Everyone, I'm a rookie real estate investor with one short term rental in South Carolina. 

Credit cards - store specific, general business expenses, etc.Any POV you have on what has worked for you would be great!

Certainly wouldn't have much issue showing credit card statements of local restaurant/grocery/gas purchases in that area through the year, but that seems a bit asinine to track or even think they'd request. 

If you are trying to get others to pay your down payment and you have nothing in the deal, there are probably no terms that anyone would agree to unless they were getting credit card type returns.
