HELOC on primary residence to invest?

[Derek Cirino]

So I am getting closer to jump in with my first investment. I have cash ready to go but I also have the option to pull out a significant amount of equity from my primary residence by using a HELOC. My question, is it a terrible idea to use a HELOC on 1st as money to invest?

The way I understand it is owning a home is a forced savings account.  I'd rather take out that money and put it to work...

PS: The HELOC rate is 3.25%

Thank you
