but now my family wants to sell me a house for cheap in the 4th quarter of this year. I will still need to take out a 300k.

Anybody have any experience with churning and taking out a mortgage know how bad I just screwed myself unintentionally? Is there anything I can tell the banks that'll make them care less about my hard pulls? ha. My credit score actually went up when I started this...it's stilling really close to 740 which I believe is the line.

I've been writing a blog targeted at my family and friends showing them how to accumulate miles/points on a really basic level. Maybe I can say it's part of my business?

This just came out of left field recently so I'm concerned.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum and move it to the correct one if possible. Thank you.
