My only problem here is the 300k in mortgage payments burning a hole in my pocket before I have a property locked up, which we know in this market, it is very competitive and who knows how long it could take to find the right commercial investment.I'm wondering if any of you have any 'out side of the box' suggestion on how to finagle this HELOC cash as a down payment without first committing to the locked in 30 year FIXED mortgages?
