It'll be expensive, but better than losing everything in life you've worked for.

Hello everyone, I'm sure most of you have heard Zillow is shutting down its home-flipping business and that Zillow is dumping its properties by selling their homes below what they paid for, hence, losing a lot of money.

We lose our EMD? 

A lot of people add fear is a huge component onto why you’ll hurt to lose some money.

It can never lose money buying real estate.

Note, even if insurance pays for all the damage your property suffers, you still lose.

We don't want to do a cash out refi and lose that interest rate, so we are thinking of a HELOC.Here are some questions/situational facts:Do most banks generally let you do a HELOC for investment purposes, or would we have to go with an investor-specific lender?  

I will be losing roughly $300/month in cash flow doing this.

I'd lose out on all that appreciation and in exchange I up my cash flow from $1K/month to $5K/month..

**except you could lose all your money
