Rental purchase using HELOC as Down payment.

[Trevor Lowe]

Hey guys and girls, Game warden from Kentucky seeking some advice for a rental property I have under contract. What do you think my best option is for coming up with the Down payment for this property? I have a HELOC on my primary residence for 4% at 51,000 and the purchase price for the rental I have under contract is 77,500 . I am trying my best to not reach in my checking or saving for the DP but I also know that if I pull from my HELOC for the DP I will be paying out interest. My plan is to put close to 10,000$ in the rental and refinance in 6 months to a year to pull out cash to pay myself back. I just want to know what your opinions are and what you would do in this situation.

Having trouble seeing if this makes sense with the limited info you've provided. I'm surprised you've got a house under contract without having clearly identified the source of your down payment. Is this not a conventional loan?
