Any advise on the best credit cards to use after consulting? Not sure if the travel credit cards are still the best value with the reduced travel.

Chase Sapphire has been great from ease of points and usage. The Citi Prestige is great if you take at least one annual vacation and stay at a nice hotel. The perk is booking 4 nights at ANY hotel and that 4th night is free(no limit on rate).

Hi all, I’m in the north east metro area and due to the current RE market we decided to look into PA specifically Lancaster. Anyone in this market and have any thoughts on where it’s headed? We’re looking purchasing a single family property all cash at 110k that rents for $1100 a month. The last owner bought for 35k like 15 years ago 😩 but hoping buying and holding for a few years will give a equal or greater returns over the long run.

Does anyone use a brokerage account instead of a checking account? Mine offers a fee free debit/atm card and free checks which I'd rarely use but starting to question whether it is worth maintaining my "big bank" checking account that requires a $1500 minimum balance.

I also have a local credit union checking/savings that I'd use if I need any services or to deposit cash and a HYSA that gets my paycheck, is used for mortgage and credit card payments, and to transfer to checking or investments.

Going with a solo 401k so I can borrow 50k if I need it for buisness purposes in the future with no questions asked and fast what companies should I look at?
