How does Heloc vs Refinancing Work?
Hello! Newbie here!
I'm a little confused with how HELOC or Refinancing works when it comes to taking Equity out to use as a downpayment for a 2nd or a next property for investment.
Can someone please explain to me with an example? I hear it on the podcasts a lot, but still a little confused on exactly how the process works :(
Thank you so much BP community, any answers is much appreciated!!

Think about a HELOC as a credit card - you only make payments when you buy stuff with it.
A cash out refinance will provide you all the funds at closing but you'll start paying on the entire loan immediately.
