The situation with the newbie wholesaler may be one where he is a wild card, just enough knowledge to be dangerous, both to himself and the people he deals with.

I still have to make trips downtown to pay water since they wont do a credit card or debit card over the phone.

Then they used those cards to purchase gift cards.

If I go to Lowes for cabinets, I either pay cash or Lowes credit card, which was issued AFTER a credit check.

If so, let Al Williamson know and you can get a Home Depot gift card!

I would tell them congratulations and even send a card with a small gift, like a gift card or housewarming present.

Are there any readers of this forum that have used "Federal Tax Credits for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings".

They all pretty much want PGs now which defeats the purpose unless you're talking about store cards like Sears, BestBuy, Home Depot, Walmart, etc.

I am exploring what I want to do to continue to expand my investments and find my age does cause some difficulty, mainly that my credit score is not as high as I would like because I don't have length of accounts (many banks I have talked to said they like to see 3 years history, which is not possible for me since no one will give you a credit card until you are 18).
