End of the year...taxes...do i start?

[Cameron Michael]

I do not want to get caught up in over analysis but I am wondering if there is a reason to not push through to get a HELOC in place before the new year? (or other financing for a property owned free and clear that I am all ears to hear about) I do not yet have a new property ready to purchase and my thought was that diving into uncharted loan territory may make this tax season more difficult then necessary. I want to have the cash ready to go when a deal does come along but it feels a bit like a chicken or egg coming first scenario.

Thank you,

Cameron
