Best option with house sale profit

May be able to sell my house for around 50-60k profit. Should I use a big chunk of it to pay down credit card debt/loans and buy new house with FHA loan or pay of some debt and put down a larger down payment?

Use the money to Pay down debt and rent until you completely pay all your debt. Build a down payment and then buy again.
Homeownership with other debt will limit your wealth building capability.

You should focus on paying off that credit card debt.

Pay down all your debt or the interest on your mortgage will be high

We sold our first house when we were early/mid 20's and walked away with a check for 52,000. We asked every aunt, uncle, and parent we have what we should do with the money-
We paid off her car (15K ish), my truck (17K), graduate school student loan (12K ish), home depot credit card (4K), another student loan (3.5k), had a nice dinner, and poof, it was gone.
We were cash flowing well enough (and the interest rates were not terrible) that I wish we had not paid the cars off and instead saved that money (probably would have ended up pissing it away on something dumb) or invested it into a rental property. But... we all know what they say about hindsight...
If you've got some dumb debt, pay that junk off and get a fresh start.

It sounds like you are planning to buy again. What is the price point you expect to buy at? How much credit card debt and at what interest rate?
