Almost always a bad idea.Let's say you get a line of credit with a 7% interest rate and use it to buy a property that produces a 12% return.

But if one sees it from the larger ecosystem for example, let's say Tesla , created demand for nickel in the nickel-producing country to build the battery.

- ie can one structure the acquisition with fixed rate debt where the property will be “self-supporting” - produce enough income to pay all operating amd debts expenses with a little left over as cash flow - as a protective layer for the inevitable downtown.2.

Finding a property with a garage or convertible income-producing space sub-$300K will be your biggest challenge. 

They think the job is easy, quote too low, find out it is not, and produce low quality to make up the time it takes to actually clean properly. 

Very difficult to analyze just because of a lot of gray areas - my numbers do not produce cashflow.  

Your credit and the income that the property produces will be a big component in how high of a loan to value you can finance. 

Most lenders will require a 15-20% down payment assuming credit is strong and property can perform from a producing income standpoint.  

They are often used to finance large, income-producing properties and offer competitive interest rates and longer loan terms.
