It’s paying $195 for 80k points. You can go to Europe twice on that so yeah I’d say it’s worth

This. Worth it the first year, especially if you can redeem the statement credit on tickets. $95 for 80k points.

What exactly are you hoping to get out of the card? SkyPesos aren’t that valuable.

Agreed. That’s a steep annual fee for no other use than the sign up bonus and the companion pass (if you can even use it). If you add another card I’d wait until you can get 60k bonus from the Amex Gold Card. 4x on dining and groceries is a good complement to the Amex platinum and could probs make up for that 20k bonus difference

Agreed with getting the gold. I just got the bonus from the platinum so waiting for another big purchase before getting the gold card. Using Uber visa for another month.

The annual fee is effectively $95 after a small purchases. I just checked some international award flights with partner airlines and each mile was coming out to 1.6 cents. Isn't that good enough?

Its the same bonus all the time lol

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?
