Using HELOC to put 20% down on rental

Ryan Cartier

Posted

I currently own my primary home free and clear. I am considering using a heloc to provide the down pmt for a rental.

My plan is to buy 1 rental by the end of this year and have 3 by the end of 2018. I am trying to see the best route for me to leverage the properties and finance as I go along. I obviously would like to get to the point where I have my heloc at 0 and out of the picture.

Running a detailed analysis from this site, I should cashflow $300/month on a 200k home including the heloc payments.

Any advice is welcomed.

@Ryan Cartier, with all due respect to @Travis Beehler, I DO recommend this route. 

Reason #1: How ELSE would you be able to buy an investment property right NOW?

Reason #2: You should only be looking for BARGAINS that suit BRRRR anyway! Cheers...
