@Isaac BaronWelcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing.

I think there was a blog post here about buying Vanilla Reload cards (https://www.vanillareload.com/where-buy) with your point-earning credit card, applying the Vanilla cards to your Bluebird checking account from American Express (http://thepointsguy.com/2014/02/the-top-reasons-to...) and then paying your tax bills, mortgages, etc. with the checks from Bluebird.No, I haven't tried it yet.

I've read a few blogs regarding using credit cards to fix and flip properties.

Also, I'm sure there are many articles in the Biggerpockets Blogs  Good luck in getting started.
