@Joe Villeneuve I have a similar situation, I have a 743 fico score, with a credit card that have a remaining 12,000 to pay off a 20,000 card.

I was recently laid off and have accumulated about $20,000 in credit card debt, primarily from paying last year's property taxes and covering a few months of living expenses.

Our bank offers Deposit only cards cards (looks like an ATM card) that we give to each tenant with their name on it.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, as well as playing golf, collecting comics and sports cards, and binging the next show on Netflix.I am very excited to meet people with common interests, network, learn, and help where I can.

Attending these events are REALLY important (I can find my first mentor, network, collect business cards, etc), but I'm held back by my situation. - What is the optimal way to fund my first deal?

My catalytic converter was stolen there 2 yrs ago while I was working.

Purchased creatively ( sub too) Rehab (Credit card zero interest)What was the outcome?

Some do a gift cards.

On one hand it is scaling fast, raising less capital, feeding the machine, and placing more cards on the table hoping their aren't more busts than winners.I am talking about in generalities and not Ashcroft.

If post cards at $0.6 each this is 5k x 0.6 = $3000/mo.
