To keep it short, instead of using my own money to purchase my inventory i’m going to raise my credit score by paying off my current cards, apply for a few high limit credit cards, use only 1-2k of that to purchase my stock, pay it off with the money I make, and repeat the process.

Are you going to sell out in time to pay off the cards every month? If not, are you going to earn enough points/cashback to offset the interest you might have to pay?

What Silkk said is spot on. This is how a lot of private equity (PE) companies run. LBO (leveraged buy out).

Example:

PE Shop X wants to buy a business called ABC Corp. ABC Corp is valued at 10 million. PE Shop X pursues an LBO to acquire ABC Corp. They'll put up say 20% of their own money and then finance the rest of the deal through debt (8 million). They acquire the ABC Corp and after say 5 years, they sell the company for 14 million. They return the 8 million back to their financiers with interest (say 2 million) Then they share the remaining 4 million. They profit 2 million from the initial investment and have doubled their initial investment.

Simple example.

I make enough to pay them off if need be. I probably wouldn’t really worry about paying it off right away anyway tbh. I expect to have a total of 20-40k in total credit and never plan on using more than 2-3k at a time.

To my coli 1 percenters:
if you're gettin 6 figures or more, what is your career or what do you do to generate income?
whats your education level?
How many certs do you got outside of a diploma?

If u close to 6 figures but not quite there, whats your next move to get over the hill?

Speak on it :dame:

First time checking out this thread so let me answer these questions

My career - I work in IT, my primary job title - Product Owner / Lead Application Analyst
Education level - B.S. computer science; M.B.A management information systems
No certs - the degrees take care of that but have the option of picking some up later on thanks to a job perk for a very low cost

ahh yes. Ok. This example is one that @Cynic has mentioned many time before. I definitely want to do this in the future.

IT/comp sci etc is def the field to be in lately.

Not like it ever wasnt the spot to be but it seems to have really emerged to new levels of prestige recently.

I see articles speaking of how data science is the highest paying entry level gig ~95k starting base salary :wow:
