@Sasha Mohammed, thank you🤙🏼. By the way, what is a closed-ended 2nd? Also, what is a Heloan? An to be clear, for now I'm just learning how they work and how I can use them in different circumstances.

@Nicholas Ruscio, first, thanks for the info🤙🏼. Secondly, so you're saying that if you get a Heloc on a second home (not an investment), that they tend to give you a lesser loan to value?

SALUTE 🫡 BP Fam, I hope all is well this evening.. Question, is it hard to get a heloc on a second home (not an investment property) or is it treated like an investment property? Thanks in advance for all feedback🤙🏼.

@Mark Mazzucco, the plan would be to cash out refi the investment property to pay off the Heloc so wouldn't be holding it for to long (18months/maybe 24months). In that scenario, do you still see the Heloc being the cheaper way to go?

Thanks @Kerry Baird. The plan is to use the built up equity to get my foot in the door vs getting a whole new loan that I'd have to fund.

Quote from @Brayden Hrycko:

Hey @Michael L.,

The short answer is yes!

You can get a heloc on a primary or an investment property. Depending on how much you want to pull it may be better to refinance. Just depends on your situation. I'd be happy to help you figure out your options. 

@Brayden Hrycko, thanks for chiming in🤙🏼.

@Dennis Muno, I appreciate the feedback. I am speaking on a Heloc for a personal residence for a potential investment. I wasn't sure if it was still considered a heloc if the property was paid off and if there was a better product to use in place of the heloc.
