Making sense of home equity

[Yogev Finegouz]

Hello everyone, I've been looking into home equity loans, Heloc and cash out refinance as a way to finance next deals. Considering interest rates are high at the moment, how do you guys make sense of using the above methods for a down payment for properties? Anything I look at always has negative cashflow at any appreciating market and with that said, do people just usually suffer the risk of years without seeing anything cashflow using the above methods?

Thank you for your input!
