Should I get a Home Equity Line of Credit to payoff mortgage?
Hello BP members!
Here is a break down of the properties that I own and how much I have left on the mortgage:
Primary Resident
250k 3.375% 30yr fixed
Investment Property
50k 4.25% 15yr fixed
110k 4.375% 30yr fixed
My questions is, should I get a home equity line of credit to pay off both investment properties? The best rate I got on the line is 200k @ Prim Rate - 0.15%. I'm planning to pay off the line in about 10 yrs, is it risky to have the payoff in that long period of time?
One think I need to mention is my accountant advised me to consider this option because my income when over certain amount and I can deduct the interest on the line from my personal tax. I hope I can get a 2nd opinion in this if this is a wise choice to make.
Thanks in advance.
