What are my options?

Hey BP!

Here's the scenario that I might be in. I bought a place for 66,500 that was appraised for 75k at the time. Let's say this property becomes appraised again after rehab at 133000k. The equity in the condo is equal/greater than the amount left in the mortgage.

Is it a good idea with BRRR strategy to use that HELOC and pay off the Mortgage completely?

I don't plan on selling this unit.

After I've leveraged out the HELOC and the unit being rented, I could easily put 2k a month into paying off the HELOC. It all could be paid off in 2-3 years. As I'm paying off the HELOC, I'm freeing up more room in my equity to go for other deals and my required payments become lower than what my original mortgage after a year.

Once the HELOC is paid off, I can leverage out the condo up to 133k and use the 133k for other deals.

It makes sense in my head and on paper, I think. This scenario is assuming I'm living in a duplex and not paying anything out of pocket to live there. There's a lot of paths I could take, but this seems the most prevalent. 

Thoughts?

    So this place is a duplex and that you're living in one of the units? If so one option is you can do a cash out refi to get the best rates since its for primary residence, then use that amount and buy something else, current rates are around and below 3.5 with no points and fees, pretty darn low

    @Drew Wie

    Oh  I didn't make that very clear. The place I'm concerned about is a condo and the condo will be rented out.

    I only mentioned the duplex because I hope to be living off the tenants off the other side so that I can meet the payments of 2k.
