For checks and debit card charges, I used my first account.

The original idea was I didn’t expect a bank to lend her the 40k for repairs so I assumed she’d be using a hard money lender and I was just assuming at 10 yrs for the loan will full intention of having the property appraised after repairs, remortgaged through a conventional for 30 years at like 3-5% and paying off the hard money loan.

Estimating we would need $20K to $30K for a $200K - $300K property.ORShould we keep this SFR home paid off to maximize its cash flow and use other sources of financing (personal savings or piggy back a home equity loan on a conventional 30 year mortgage loan) to finance the down payment on the new investment? 

They came out today and replaced the meter, free of charge.

 Not to beat a dead horse but I’ve had some replies to my former discussion, which indicates to me that in my quest to find my first flip property, not counting the last two houses over the last 4 1/2 years that I have successfully turned over for a profit using 2 30-year conventional loans, I can actually purchase a property using my S Corp.The only problem is,  I would need to live in the property that I am fixing up, as I currently do not have a permanent home-base.

I would not charge them too much or they may change their mind and stay put for now, which will only delay short term the problems that will come from these tenants.

I may change my limits as my financing network grows, but for now I'm focused on a conventional mortgage for the first deal.

They can connect you with the people you need to get the house back in shape.Normally they don't even charge you until the house is not only done, but also rented. 

There's not a firm convention on this. 

I would not charge a fee and if it is not listed in the sublet portion of the lease you really arent entitled to.
