You need to find a loan officer or mortgage broker with an IQ greater than a cabbage, licensed in your state (I am CA only), that can set it up so the credit cards are paid off through escrow with proceeds from the cash out refinance.

I was in a SmartCity's conference the other day (courtesy of my day job) and Atlanta city planners have begun centering all investment infrastructure around North Ave.

I am a newly licensed agent in upstate NY and have learned a lot just by following posts and listening to podcasts.

Carson, I have a life-long passion for real estate and while in a corporate job, I got my real estate license in VA but soon realized I wanted to be on the investment side of RE, which also couples with my formal education in portfolio management, not that it'd help.

Walk through together to make sure.Always get backup contractors because they get sick, die, leave you etc.Make sure contractor has his name or company on the permitCheck real estate commission for licenses of realtorsCheck secretary of state to make sure contractor is licensedIf you have mold, asbestos, radon make sure the contractor is certified to remove it.General contractors do not like to work with subs that they do not chooseProject manager can not have too much going on or else they will neglect youMake sure you get the general contractor sign over a document regarding he will be responsible for paying subs because you do not want his subs to turn around and sue you because they say he did not pay themGet the names and phone numbers of all subsRecord all phone calls. 

I believe it is state-by-state, but one private money lender I knew had to go get licensed because she did more than 4 loans per year.+1 for what @Ian MacIntyre said.

However,  I have a situation where I rather have a licensed and insured general contractor look at the place first before I pay the inspector.  

Currently, I'm a licensed hair stylist and work in a restaurant but am looking to shift my career path to being fully committed to my business.
