I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. I suggest that you buy the property first. then you should wait a month and refinance and take out the equity to pay off the 12K credit card debt. However, you should try to negotitate the debt down. While paying off a reduced credit card bill will affect your credit, you will already have the house and the credit will not be too affected. If you rather simply pay the card in full do that. I suggest you hire a lawyer to help you in this.
