Any thoughts regarding the credit card?

Once you have a couple stays create a professional web site and business cards.

If you paid by credit card you could probably get them to refund it.

The trick is we want card readers that that will all be on one merchant account and one bank account (that is the good part).  

As an accountant, I do not get why business owners/investors focus so much on the bookkeeping when their expertise is on investing.My typical month-end things I do as an accountant:Bank RecsAnalyze the GL (reclass, if necessary)Make sure Mortgage, Utilities, and Property Taxes are paidCredit Card ReconciliationsReview Income & Expense statementReview Cash balance (this is mostly every time checks are cut) to make sure there's enough for mortgageYear-end:Gathering all backup and documents for the tax accountant or auditorThis includes GL should be close to perfect.Review of Income Statements and Balance SheetsFiscal Year-end bank rec which should match the balance sheet's numbersPrepare 1099sPrepare any CAM reimbursements (commercial tenants properties)As for flipping - same concept, just making sure that the closing entries are done correctly.

If it was you by chance and you used a credit card (visa signature for example) you'd probably be able to get replacement/partial cost recovery. here's some more infohttps://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/credit-card-benefits/purchase-protection-credit-cards-cover-belongings/

Poll your tenants and ask them... offer them something like a amazon gift card for their response.

I step outside to receive yet another post card from one of you fine folks.... damn you appraiser, damn you.

Go to your local REA, get everyone's card.

If they call you on it call them transphobic (the trump card to win any argument) and dial your local ACLU.
