Looking to make a home purchase in a year. I’m bringing my money from different accounts to Vanguard. (Was on Betterment)

1. Should I have different accounts for different goals? (a home purchase account, retirement savings account (outside of IRA/401k), emergency fund account...)

2. I’m a beginner/intend to be hands-off. Would you recommend VOO, VTSAX/VTI, VTIAX for either accounts? or for everything?

Resources you like are welcome so I can educate myself too. Thank you

1. Have separate accounts
2. Look at these ETFs, they have given me good results so far - VGT, FIVG, ITA, FOCPX, FSRPX. In addition, you can even look into VTI and DIA.

Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?

I have significant equity in a property (300k+) and maybe another 200k across other properties. I have a decent amount of money in cash and already 200k or so in stocks. Would you consider pulling money through cash out refi and using it? I get nervous for stocks being so high. I have a few properties in pipeline already. How would you suggest using it (if at all).
