    Pay the payment on time and your FICO will go UP!

    What I mean is every time you borrow more then 50% of your available credit, your FICO score is slammed hard. Any way round this???

    No way around this....I wouldn't advise borrowing the down payment on credit cards to finance a long term investment.

    Credit cards are a great tool to use for rehab money or uhaul money on a sub2

    hypothetically, the advance could be taken after the mortgage credit report, but before COE...
    nudge nudge....
