I’ve just bought a new apartment and have a lot of work to do, therefore looking for recommendations for cards with good rewards points bonuses available right now. They have to be travel friendly/no foreign exchange fee because the apartment is in Europe, however I’m American so I can get US Credit cards and would like the benefits

DM for referrals on all of the above

I’m guessing most of your apartment related spend will not be in the bonus categories chase and Amex typically have - eg dining and travel, etc. So if you want to maximize points, I’d recommend the Capital One venture X because it gives you 2x on everything versus 1x with chase / Amex. No foreign transaction fees and bonus points if you book through capital one travel.

I'm from Baltimore, and lately, we have had a crazy buying spree, I mean I have sold the same property 2 times in less than 2 weeks, and the person who bought it immediately put it on the market and made an average of $25k in less than 5 days. Many reports show that investing in Baltimore and Philadelphia is the future, I don't doubt it. What is the fastest you have ever resold a property?

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
