Hi Karla-I like your thinking about next steps.If you have a low interest rate on your primary house, I would keep that loan in place.Then, see if you can find a lender that will do a HELOC that you can lock a portion as a loan so the rate does not float around as HELOC rates tend to do after you secure the next property with the HELOC funds.This will give you a blended interest rate between the low rate on your first house and the higher rate on the Home Equity Loan that is still lower than refinancing your existing house and locking in a higher rate on the whole balance.Hope this makes sense.
