Im not expert but Ive took out a heloc and dragged on going on my advise and it suckedHi @Mario Morales, There are 2 things I would pay attention to in the scenario you describe. (1) Most cash out loans are limited to 75% -80% LTV meaning you wouldn't be able to get all of your cash back out. (2) The interest rates I see in the market are closer than what you've listed.

Networking and market research will be key to finding the right deals and scaling your portfolio.

Rental market is pretty strong, there are a lot of good economic drivers.
