Chase Sapphire Reserve, AMEX Platinum, etc), so I would love to be able to maximize that while avoiding co-mingling.

Or maybe you end up doing all the renovations and management while your princess of a sister does nothing but spend the money on new shoes.Better to be your own man and make your own path.

I don’t have multi-res experience in DFW, but I have owned multiple rental sfr’s there from prior to the gfc.In this business, especially now, you may need to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince/princess, or turn over a lot of rocks, or any other metaphors that you like.

Hard to beat the Chase Sapphire or Chase Ink cards for your business.  2/3 of the Chase Ink cards don't have an annual fee. 

Now the trick with chase cards is to open a sapphire card(either work) and use them to transfer to Hyatt, or an international airline.

It'd be a win/win.Dream customer would be like heiress Liesel Matthews parents back in 1996 needing a nice place to stay while she's killing it as Sara Crewe in WB's A Little Princess (of course she had Alfonso Cuaròn directing (*swoon* my hero!!!)).

Plus the Smith's water is the color of a Bombay Sapphire Gin bottle.  

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.
