While being a homeowner has its many rewards, it also has some costly downsides. One of the major contributors to this financial burden is having to pay property taxes annually. Sadly, there is no way to get around this hefty bill unless you are a renter or luckily living for free with family or with a partner. Thankfully, I have stumbled upon a strategy that effectively softens the financial impact of this expense. This technique involves applying for 2-3 credit cards right before property tax season in order to generate generous sign up bonuses that can be redeemed for free flights. In this blog post, I outline the steps on how you can employ this strategy yourself.
