HELOC, Refi on my personal house to get started??

[Jeremiah Dye]

Hello everyone! I don't have a lot of money saved in the bank, but I had thought about either refinancing my personal house and taking the money out of it, or refinance and then getting a HELOC to get started on buying investment properties. Is this a good idea or not? Pros and Cons of both?

I am single and 35, so I don't have any dependents and can be risky, and I have a modest amount of equity in my home. What are your thoughts?

Thanks!
