tonip1963 asked:


Okay heres the question. I am expecting to receive about $16,000+ very shortly. Coincidently, I also have about 15,000 in credit card debt. I would like to begin investing in real estate. Would it be better for me to (A) take the money and pay off my cards or (B) take only a portion and pay off part of my debt, and keep the rest of the money for down payment/repairs on a real estate investment?

My credit scores are 607, 671, and 649, so I have good credit. However, I do not have well documented income, so I will probably need to do a no-doc loan, and thus would probably need the money for a down payment and/or repairs. Please give your opinion.

Christina
