If you believe in Robert Kiyosaki's principals of converting liabilities into assets then simply put paying down your mortgages principal and converting that into your small businesses bank account with a HELOC is in theory converting a liability into an asset.It's very easy for people to simply say no that's a terrible idea we for some reason have this terrible stygma associated with paying down principal and then leveraging that equity to your own advantage, personally i've never understood why I think it's a brilliant move one that I can tell you has worked extremely well for me.I'll leave you with item to ponder on.
