Is this a wise decision to use a HELOC on property number one that only has 20 to 25% equity in it to fund a down payment for a live in house hack in multifamily property number two?

They’d rather just trade toys on the sly and call it a day.3.

Properties with low cap rates (5.3%) often trade because investors prioritize appreciation over immediate cash flow.

I hope it helps other people who are trying to make a decision. 

I would encourage you to do a deeper dig on the financials and take your own skill inventory in making this important wealth impacting decision.  

No one right decision for everyone. 

However, financial freedom isn’t a one-time event; it’s about sustaining your desired lifestyle for the rest of your life.Once you clarify your goals, the next decision is where to invest.Investment Market/CityThe most important investment decision you will make is where to invest.

Marrying right is huge and I appreciate that you mentioned the importance of that decision.

I just think there is a trade off that people need to consider, and their credibility shouldn't automatically be questioned if they choose privacy.

@Lisa Oliver I wouldn’t give keys to trades men under any condition.
