The laundry contract is up in October, so that'll be somewhat of a payday when we renegotiate, and we'll upgrade the machines to take credit cards.

My credit score around 800 ++ and got a 5.75% interest rate for 30 years fixed rate conventional loan.

@Sean Mcdonough I am a buy and hold so I put a down payment on one, using my line of credit (which has an interest rate like Hard Money) and then I took a home equity loan on another rental and paid off that down payment.

Let them know that you're simply looking to avoid vacancy, and the more cooperation you receive from them, the higher the chances that someone will sign the lease and the showings will stop.

My husband and I will be renting to two college kids who, do to their age, do not have a credit background and (since they have retail college jobs) make $50 less than 3x the rent (net income).

The bank is not too cooperative in this and ultimately may not provide that letter.  

Well, their credit Is already trashed due to the missed payments.  

Anyhow it feels good at times to help them keep their place,  especially the ones who truly deserve it and would face almost certain foreclosure, thing about the loss equity they lose, the credit impact for several several years to come. but we can't help all of them unfortunately our of hundreds of thousands in virtually every state across the country, but we try.

Does anyone know the benefits of having business credit in Real Estate.

I have credit in the low 700s and am looking to make a large down payment.
