I have about 75K left on a long term mortgage at about 6.5%. Recently a credit card I have with a large credit limit (20K+) sent checks that could be used for full amount of credit @ 1.9% fixed for the life of the loan. Should I use this to pay off some of the mortgage at a lower interest rate? I know I can make the min payments, are there dangers or problems I'm not considering?

So yesterday my wife — Ms. We're-Not-Moving — found a house closer to Portland that she loves. We both love it. The only offer we can make, though, is contingent upon selling our home, which we hadn't even considered until yesterday. Help! Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing? What can we do to make a contingency offer more attractive? What about bridge loans? Anyone have experience with those? I need advice on hurried real estate transactions (other than "don't do them").
