HELOC and then what...?

Jarid Wilson

Hello,
New investor question. I am looking to purchase a fix and flip here in Delaware (Newcastle County). I'm planning on getting a HELOC but my question is what should those funds go to? Should I used the funds for a down payment on the investment property and finance the repairs from another loan OR use the HELOC to pay for the rehab?
Thank in advance

Lot of questions I'd have concerning using a HELOC for investment. RE Investment is an advanced speculative investment strategy, are you comfortable using the equity in your home?

I do find a HELOC appropriate for my business, but generally as a way to fund purchase of a property that I know I'm going to refinance for rental, or turn quickly.
