I haven't dealt with it in a landlord/tenant situation, but from a couple of people I have known who accepted credit cards for their retail businesses, the credit card associations (Visa/Mastercard/Amex) "don't like it" if the business tries to charge the credit card fee to the customer, and can potentially stop accepting charges from that business if they do it.But, the card associations seem to be perfectly OK with the idea of a business advertising or giving a "cash discount". 

I just got a Wells Fargo Mastercard statement in the mail today.

(posted friday morn)To clarify, this isn't a threat from Wikileaks to BoA.There have been several payment processors (including Visa, Mastercard and PayPal) who have stopped allowing payments to Wikileaks, and subsequently those processors were hit by denial-of-service attacks or other forms of "hacking" by supporters of Wikileaks -- but not Wikileaks itself.Those that have followed these attacks on payment processors clearly believe that if BoA has stopped donations to Wikileaks, then BoA will be the next target of these non-centralized hackers.Who knows...they may be right.

I assume the issue is you are young - as opposed to having old, closed credit or previous bad creditTry becoming a member of one of the many credit unions in the Philly area and then apply for their Visa/mastercard.

How does that MasterCard commercial go?

After that I got approved for an Orchard unsecured Mastercard.

As far as business credit Separate ein numbers, separate llc.s   I am doing the same as personal credit building, Started with home depot , and lowe's . that's the big ones here, went from there to visa and master cards, home loans under each llc, now stating to work with dun and brad street. looks like that one is going to cost about 500 bucks. maybe after this flip. 

@Guifre Mora I only have a mastercard, how can I make it work?

I think in the '80s we didn't even have debit cards, just cash.I was making about $500 a week, so I did the Bank round-robin thing (see above), deposited a thousand bucks in a CD, got $1000 loan, paid it off in 6 months, then applied for Visa or MasterCard through the bank unsecured.But to get back to bad credit and how to make money in real estate.If you go to buy your commercial banks you're going to need a credit rating with a good FICO.And you are going to need 20% down if it's an investment property or 3% down through FHA programs up to four units.That said, how can you make money with BAD credit?

It is a card from Visa or Mastercard that has a limit equal to the amount of money she puts on deposit with the issuing bank.
