HELOC Payoff / How to best utilize

[Nicco M.]

Hey BP!

I have about 85k equity in my primary residence and have been considering using a HELOC against my primary residence to purchase an investment property.

Am I correct in assuming most of the cash flow I'd be making from the investment property would likely go towards paying off the HELOC?

I realize there are a ton of variables and if I were to force appreciation in the investment property I could refinance the investment property and pay off the HELOC. Would this scenario typically be the best approach for using a HELOC?

Thank you
