Hey Chase 🐠, Recent college hire in consulting, I’ve been on Chase Freedom Unlimited for the last six months and have ~45,000 points. Looking to get a chase sapphire preferred or reserve when things open up. No dire strait for funds right now, but should I take the points as $450 of cash back or hold onto them to use with sapphire perks? Plan is to stay in the chase ecosystem and churn cards on the way up, what should I be considering? (Besides 4/24). Thank you!

Bought a 300k end unit townhouse in Atlanta, 14 months ago with 10% down (3.65% interest rate). Prices in subdivision have been increasing over that period. This month 2 non-end units listed for 330k and sold right away. The opposite end unit on my 5 unit building was listed for 340k and is currently pending.

Anyone know when Ch. 7 BKs must close by? Is this changed by when there are adversary proceedings (alleged fraudulent transfers made to a bank for CC payments)? Asking for my friend who is unfortunately involved bc of his parents, who are the debtors (he isn’t a defendant or a debtor in this, but the payments were made to a CC in his name—a CC he didnt know was opened in his name).

Its in Texas, and the initial BK filing was made about 23 months ago. TIA!
