I'd attack the credit report :) 1) lower (pay down) whatever accounts have a high utilization percentage 2) contact each of 3 major consumer credit agencies and get a free report, then dispute every hard inquiry that is *NOT* associated with an open account 3) call the credit cards you already have established and ask for a credit line increase -- often can be done online and they do not verify income, hint hint.

WEBSITES that offer pick dresses have pink dress content on it and Google crawlers catalog all websites on Google so Google can retrieve them when someone looks for them.If you build a website where you tell everyone (Google included) that you buy Duplexes, anyone who has a duplex to sell will find your website, if you are decent at SEO and that is how you find Dumplexes with a website.You can have your website target anything you want.Lastly, I always find it funny when people pull that $7K card on me.
