One of my trade lines is delinquent (a Pittany Bowes account) and I have business credit card that I've kept current.

Where if you hire someone from the outside that's a wild card, and you never know what your getting. 

I would rather take a loan out of mine and use it for special situational deals that cash flow than to max credit cards.

I don't really want to be a full-time agent but I think it's a pretty valuable card to have in the ol' tool belt.  

If you have credit cards, get one with a small limit and charge a few things and pay them off each month.With your work schedule, I would consider a live in flip if your wife will go along with that.

He can't show any n I dont have receipts but I do kno I used my debit card for alot of the things NEEDED.

There are also payments on credit cards that i used to do the rehab, can the payments on credit cards be counted as expenses, or just the interest? 

@Tom Martinez $2,500 deposit to make a bid (they just lockup $2,500 on your credit card) and refund it if you lose the auction.5% buyers premium.I have noticed the reserves for these are really high and the same property is repeatedly re-auctioned week after week. 

This was after the housing crash and about the time that all the banks were closing people's heloc's and credit card accounts like crazy.

Lesson learned :)I think I've done a pretty good job of keeping my books since acquiring the properties, but I made the mistake of recording expenses as a single entry each time I paid off my Lowe's card.
