This locks in your monthly expenses, versus  HELOC that is variable, and matches well to the long term hold of the rental.I use HELOCs for shorter term capital needs, i.e. flips, or even possibly the acquisition and renovation of a rental, but always with the belief that I will have it paid off in under a year, typically 6 months.
