Drew Markert Should I get a separate credit card for house hack?

Don't throw away your snail mail and pay attention to the "promotions" tab in your Gmail, including the ads.Sometimes the best credit card signup bonuses are targeted (both paper mail and email) and will result in more bonus points than the offers you can find online.Also, if you have a Chase bank account but you don't have one or more of the foundational Chase cards (Freedom, Sapphire Reserve, etc.), walk into a branch and let them know you're looking to open a new card.Branches and bankers are obviously evaluated based on their ability to open new accounts, and they may be motivated to give you a special offer.For example when my wife got a Chase card she got double the sign-up bonus in-branch than what was being advertised online at the time.If they present you with just the commonly-available offers, let them know that you'll just open it online because it's easier and will result in the same bonus anyway.If it looks like you're going to walk away, the banker may be able to give you a better bonus in order to not lose credit for your account opening.Of course they may not have the authority to do so but it's worth a shot.

That is going to cost you $500 / hr with a $5,000 retainer. haha true thatAnd we can hardly get investors to commit a $5,000 refundable deposit on deals as part of our pre-qualification.Tried offering something similar but never focused on scaling personal consulting so it didn't fly.Was never really interested in the voodoo boodoo guru BS Instagram promoting, etc...But I do believe in selling your time and not courses, seminars and all that mumbo jumbo heheThanks

2 March 2024 | 1 reply
I had to not only list and promote but I had to protect the equity during the negotiations with the prospect buyers, coordinate the move out with the tenant, who was previous property manager and was exercising all her rights which tend to make the situation less than ideal for sellers/landlords.
