As I look ahead to future properties, and to a rather aggressive goal I have set for cash flow in the next 3 years, I need to be able to recycle my cash. 

If you are looking to recycle your cash (ie BRRRR or Flip) that’s a useful tool.

They are recyclable and look nice, I call that a win-win!

If you are looking to recycle your capital through value add projects, ie BRRRR or Flips, then a Heloc may make more sense.

@Brendan VanDalindaIf I could turn back time I would’ve stopped worrying about down payments and focused on recycling capital through brrrr.

One had the plumbing recycled. 

@Elliott Holdosh - that 187k is tied to the property but you have now recycled all your original capital you had in the deal. 

I would recommend going with the value add strategy so that you can continuously recycle your money and create equity, that's what I've been doing because I have a finite amount of money for REI.

I have managed to recycle that same $50k along the way into 5 successful BRRRR’s and am now currently working on my first flip.

Wanted to do a BRRRR as my first deal to recycle seed capital and keep momentum.
