Use the HELOC funds for another investment strategy such as funding fix and flip projects.

@Drew Sygit my strategy for now is to spend the next 6 months or so learning everything I can about real estate markets, properties, underwriting, financing, landlords, property management, construction, legal, insurance, and anything else that comes across my radar, all the while trying to make connections and build relationships within each of these areas to build a network and gain the confidence to sell lenders and investors on the very best deals I can come up with.

My strategy (at the time) was to aggressively pay down my mortgage, and the recast allowed me to reduce the monthly committed amount.

It’s just hard to believe so many investors believing that this investment strategy was anything but ridiculous.  

But after an exchange - sign the purchase documents with one pen and pick up another pen to sign the refi docs :)Another strategy you could consider is reinvesting into multiple properties, where you purchase the first property cash (ensures some security and concentrates the equity) and the second property with a mortgage.

I own 50% of one property and am interested in the BRRRR strategy.
