HELOC vs Hard Money for a flip

[Hoa Nguyen]

Hey, everyone looking for some advice in regards to financing a potential flip.

I have about 100k in equity in my primary residence and have heard some success stories in using HELOCs for flips. In my market, you can find a home that needs 20k in repairs for 30k-50k.

My question is, is it a good idea to capitalize on the HELOC opportunity if I find a solid deal? Or should I rather seek a hard money lender?

These are the only two options I am looking at. Don't have dp for a conventional.
