If you use a HELOC, I would think about a BRRRR-ish strategy (No perfect BRRRR exists right now unless you go full off-market door knocking/postcard campaign/etc) to where you can refinance and get some of that money back, so you don't have $25k chunks of money at a 9-10% interest rate floating out there indefinitely.
