Well I am currently still a college student and got a 750+ credit score just by putting my purchases on a credit card and paying it off every month - I didn't have any large loan history like a mortgage or a car up until this point and used my life savings to purchase the two homes.

I just hate to see these young kids spend what little savings they may have or run up credit cards when they don't really have the skills..its just like when I had my real estate brokerages over the years... only a certain amount made a living out of it. less than 50% of agents who try..

The ones that are good deals they might buy it from the student directly or partner with them.I am talking about the industry in general and not about a particular company.If people go to these events leave the credit cards at home.

Credit cards to get people to spend as much as possible on china plastic to pump the consumerism market..Auto loans to pump the auto industry.. 

Think about adding business cards to each one of your envelopes with your mission statement or what your company/ you actually does on the back of it.Hope this helps, its the strategy I'm taking.

Start sending post cards, cold calling, yellow letters, put signs up in yards.   

Im looking to tap into equity to start flipping houses and eventually get more rental properties after I pay off my credit card debt to lower my debt to income ratio, any advice would be appreciated!

I would get a gift card every now and then as a thank you, but never asked for anything.

They buy certificates online after a 30-minute "session" and a swipe of the credit card.

Also, you can ask your bank about a deposit only account/atm card.
