Hi Joe,Using a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) on your primary residence can be a practical and low-cost way to fund flips, especially since the terms you mentioned include only a $200 yearly fee.

I am all for owning your own residence, but really it comes down to your current situation.

As a resident (who travels a lot) I would say the Midwest does not have the attractions like palm trees & beaches (the great lakes are cold) or amazing mountain ranges, which often come with some disadvantages like high cost of living or hut/humid weather, stroms etc. 

There are also other ways to use money from an IRA without tax penalties such as for a primary residence or medical expense. just know what you're getting into and the best ways to avoid the tax.
