Many people do not really think about it but you can save a great deal of interest, especially with hard money lenders, if you have worked hard to attain good credit.

You can do this by utilizing the balance transfer checks that most credit card companies are sending you in the mail. A good deal of them have a 0% till March 04, or 1.9% till January 04, or 5% for the life of the loan. Even the Discover platinum has a 0% for the life of the loan if you make two purchases a month of $1 each. Most of these card do it for a flat per check fee of $50. That is a low cost to pay to write a $40,000 check to yourself for 6 months.

Not a bad article, but it needs a little more info to really make it useful. CC's can be better than HML's but they will only work for people with great credit and good money management.

Also, while it's fairly easy to obtain up to 10 $5000 limit cards, it's actually more difficult for most to qualify for 1 $50K card. It's also not a good idea to spread the money over 5-10 cards because then the fees will start to really add up.
