Unsecured Lines Of Credit from multiple Banks a good thing?

Good morning/afternoon BP family!

So I’ve gone to more than a dozen banks within the past couple weeks, figuring out what banks are the best for financing my RE needs. I found out that some of the local banks offer unsecured lines of credit for $30k-$250k. I was thinking about opening up accounts with about 4 of these banks and receive the LOCs. Of course I’d only use the capital I’ll need to acquire properties. But, if the cash flow covers the high interest rates, would this be a good idea? I also understand that these rates are normally variable but, these banks offer a refinance offer for fixed rates after 6mo-1yr.

What do you ladies and gentleman think?
