You must know all the rules and don't get upset when sometimes you mistake and pay few $$ because you forgot about expiration of 0% Right now, business credit cards give me 0% till March 2020 and with only 1.99% fees upfront while personal cards only for 12 month and 3-4% upfront.This is long term game and ideally you have to have 4+ eastanlished credit lines with different use - revolving and installment, for more than 7 years - never be late - then you'll reach to 850 FICO.Plus few other tricks - but it's alittle bit personal

J MacArthur Looking for advice on Self directed IRAs to purchase property.
