A HELOC carries a higher rate over a shorter amortization usually 10 or 15 years and a mortgage carries a lower rate over a 30 year amortization offering a lower payment.You have to run the math in each scenario because the math differs based on a few things like Fico score, CLTV, Loan size, and time frame between purchase and refinance of new property.
