HELOC for investment
Hi I am looking for purchasing a single family home for investment. I realize that rates of mortgage loan is much worse for investment properties than for primary resident home. I plan to downpay 25% which can give the best rate for investment property. I am also considering to put more money using HELOC from my primary resident home on top of 25% downpayment because HELOC rate (3.6%) is better than mortgage rate (4.5%).
Do you think this is a good idea and right strategy to use?
