With a HELOC being around 9% I'd probably be paying more in interest than the money would make in the stock market.

Leverage your W-2 income for better loan terms, explore private/hard money for off-market deals, and network with investors to expand your deal flow.Good luck!

How valuable is this location in that market? 

Just be sure to account for the upfront costs, ongoing maintenance, and market demand to make sure the numbers work for you.Good luck with your decision, and feel free to share updates as you move forward!
