There are plenty of cards with 0% or very low fee for cash advance and very low rates such as:navyfederal.org - nationwide as low as 9.99% for cash advance no feepenfed.org - all states I believe - as low as 7.99% no feebecu.org - WA and other states - as low as 6.9% - $10 fee for cash advance on timeobee.com - WA only as low as 6.65%cash advance no feeDCU.org - a Credit union out of MA - no cash advance fee low rate 8.5% rateWestern.org - no fee 8.99% interestand many many more, most are credit unions while other financial institutions and banks mostly charge you 2-3% up front fee with huge 20-28% rates but credit unions are the best for this strategy.Keep in mind the monthly payment on each card varies from 1.5 to 2.5% of the outstanding balance and this may affect your debt to income ratio if you ever expect to refinance or purchase other properties, so plan accordingly.
