Only you get to stack the deck in your favor, you get to look at the dealers cards, and you get to decide if you want to play before you have to make your first bet.

Will I need to apply for many credit cards with my llc?

I have a few credit cards that have a large balance. 

You might find a guy with great credit but has a maxed out credit card so he will have a lousy score, or you could find someone who has only ever had 1 $500 credit card which he paid perfectly, so has a 750 score.

Needless to say we did it, and abracadabra on the 3rd day, we were able to afford our REI package.Yes, the ruse on raising credit card limits ends up being so that you can afford to pay for their course in full. 

Should be able to buy with less than $10k if they don't make you bring too much to the table and then you could front each $12k draw with credit cards,  your own money,  etc.  

One credit card is at 5,000, 0% APR, no interest until summer 2018.

I would throw all your extra money possible at the credit card debt first and completely eliminate it before investing in any real estate.

1) Change my degree to finance/real estate. 2) Get a credit card (to start building credit) and use it for small things and have the balance automatically paid off each month. 3) Get a job as a loan officer, leasing agent, property manager, handy man, etc. to save more money and have W2 income. 4) As soon as you can qualify for a loan, find a house near your college campus and use your $25k savings to buy it as your primary residence, then flip it while you live there or rent it. 5) After you graduate, use your additional savings you were able to come up with to buy another house to flip/rent. 6) From there decide if you want to keep working a job and invest in real estate on the side or use all your savings you were able to accumulate in college (because everything is paid for!)

The card should be simple and have one call to action which is repeated.
