Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: One question you should ask your CPA or a question I would ask is if the interest on the HELOC being deductible if used towards the purchase of rental real estate.I haven’t found the right CPA yet willing to work with me, I got lots of questions that my HELOC was deff a big question I wanted to incorporate!

Technically speaking, I am the only "natural person" in both entities. 

This is merely the nature of the business. 2.
