HELOC a good time right now?

[Simrun Mirchandani]

I recently appraised my house and found out I have a substantial amount of equity. I planned to use this equity down the roa to fund a flip, but with the current situation and the possibility of home prices declining in the future, would now be the best time to setup a HELOC while real estate prices haven't been impacted the most and I can receive the biggest line amount vs waiting 6 months?
