How to use HELOC to fund down payment?

[Sean McKee]

Hi,

I am going to be using a HELOC to fund my next property. The HELOC came with two starter checks in the mail I am able to use. How would I actually go about accessing the HELOC funds for the down payment? Would I need to write a check to my personal bank account and then get a cashier's check once the funds were transferred? Or can I transfer the money directly from the line of credit to the lender for the down payment?

Trying to think through the process of actually using the HELOC funds. I appreciate any feedback, thanks!
