Thanks in AdvanceHey Gash, From my experience in purchasing rentals in the Owens Cross Roads area, I'd double check the rents and think about lowering(depending on your strategy).

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

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

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.

@Michelle Reid Both LTR and STR strategies are viable and currently producing good results in the current market, which isn't easy to find everywhere else.

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

Buying and holding is a long term strategy but it's amazing how it grows over time.
