My example for this is, I'm a veteran so my credit card interest rates are currently capped at 4%. 

It does a great job of keeping track of transactions I enter as well as ACH/Credit card payments from tenants.

You were paying credit card fees, towels and coffee and other supplies, higher insurance rates, self-employment tax, furnishing, high maintenance, decreasing Market saturation, booking site commissions, a lot of other stuff. third, 30 to 35 thousand on a $275,000 house is peanuts 'str wise.

Some people lump consumer credit card spending on wasteful unnecessary toys in the same category as a mortgage that in 5 years makes you a lot of money.

If you want to work with Investors then, go to Zillow and see what agents/brokers have listings of duplexes and triplexes in whatever area you want to focus on and then see if you can hang your license with them.....they most likely will have some idea of how to market to buyers and sellers of investment properties.If your brokerage will let you.....have TWO sets of business cards made up....one business card that caters to buyers and you can have a simple slogan on it that says something like "Helping more buyers get into properties more economically than your average Realtor".   

In order to provide the lump sum of cash, I establish a LLC (I would also use this LLC also for my Airbnb rentals) and I take out a loan and/or 0% credit cards for the remaining balance.Plan 2: I talk to my financial officer who helped me purchase my current home, set up a mortgage loan through my financial officer and make the down payment of 15% (single family home) by using my Traditional and Roth IRA's. 

or you can leave business cards advertising the business that guests may take with them. 

@Will BarnardWe were estimating 50k, with about 4 to 5 months holding costs.Converting into rental is also in the cards.

One last item I thought I would mention, I've heard of folks on the podcast using credit cards with 0% down for rehab costs (usually Discover) on their BRRRR deals.

@Anthony WilsonA secured credit card will help, as long as you only pay bills and other expenses that you would pay without them.
