Once the rep helps you with this, then you ask for their supervisor (since they make more money on having calls transferred) and promote how well that rep helped you; then, you ask the supervisor for the same thing.This was told to me in a seminar (a guru one at that); however, this is dependent on your personal ability to not spend the CC's.

I feel like my best route to getting started is by working with partners or private lenders given my current available capital.
