Regular Loan or HELOC

[David Jackson]

I am new to investing in RE. I can get HELOC on a property i already own clean and clear (rental) or i can get a loan for a primary residence and use it to get another rental or flip it.

Should i use HELOC and buy auctioned properties for a flip or conventional loan to buy a non auction for a rental/ flip?

The reason for asking this is because i feel auctioned properties can be flipped for a good profit but they require cash to bid and HELOC solves that.
