Jamie Derasmo Use a HELOC for down payment/renovations?
10 September 2021 | 2 replies
It's a very good strategy as the interest rate is usually lower than anything you'd find with private or hard money.A HELOC is usually an adjustable rate, and if you read the fine print, the lender can usually call the balance due if you keep a balance open for X years (e.g., ten), so it's best used for short-term things like flip financing or BRRRRs, but yes if you have the equity it's a great option.The scenario you described where you're planning to use it for a renovation and will pay it back in 6 months after a refi is the classic one.

Patrick Q. Eliminate Credit Card Debt Quickly Dipped Credit
10 September 2021 | 0 replies
Hello guys,Recently acquired a 2 family.Tenant should be moving in soon.The process went over budget (more than expected).The result is I am carrying credit card debt.I have a plan to pay it down to zero that will work just fine (the avalanche method).I would like to speed up the process though and pay less interest in the process.My credit score has dipped as a result of the credit card debt (to around 624).So may not be eligible for a 0% balance transfer or personal loan.Ultimately I want to get my credit score back into the excellent range for when I refinance out of the FHA loan.Any hacks or tips that anybody could share would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance to anybody who has any advice to offer.No canvasing please.
