Many OG gators help out the newbies and bring good deals to lend on.

This is more intelligent than a simple bot. 

I know this is a very general "well it depends" question, but I'm just hoping for some general advice and direction.

@Michelle SharkoAnswering questions in step by step fashion:- Is it a good thing to do or not is a personal finance decision and it depends on the person asking it, their risk tolerance which in part has to do with how this HELOC or line of credit works and how your personality fares relative to taking on new debt (a person more adverse to debt might have sufficient savings and temperament to pay down/back the debt versus a financially liberal person might get in over their skii's as).

The traditional carriers you mentioned are not good options in this space.
