Down payment: HELOC vs. Mutual Fund Account

[Scott Weaner]

I have a potential to purchase 2 duplexes. I used our HELOC to fund the DP on my first purchase last year. I am trying to decide which funds to use for the DP on this deal.

I could use the HELOC, but that will pretty much max it out. My other option is to pull funds from a mutual fund account. I assume that I will have some tax implications if I do that.

Any thoughts?
