So the Developer has less into their lots than another development were the infrastructure is in the construction loan and is paid off when the lot sells.. so its a win for the developer if they can sell the homes for the same price as other developments that do not have this bond attached to each lot..

@Gisell GarciaI use zelle and deposit only cards.

A triple win.

If values of real properties continue their long term increases, then owning more property even if it means having paid higher prices will turn out to be a winning strategy, provided the buyer is able to maintain ownership through periods of possible negative cash flow and or refinancing necessity. 

Highly recommend you have stripe with rental agreement where you collect identification, selfie, credit card info, and e-signature.

2.For purchases made on a credit card, is it best to use separate cards, or are there good methods for tracking expenses by property?

Is it a legal 3-family on the city card?

Instead, you checked out through Stripe with a VISA card ending in 1372 (expired).

You can play landlord for a few years and you'll learn a lot from doing that (especially hands-on) - but long term not a winning strategy.

Everyone wins.
