Ok, perhaps not that complicated but requires you to go that extra mile anyway vs. just purchasing as an individual.I do agree that home equity is usually cheaper money but there are a few reasons I can think of to use a mortgage on the investment property instead: (1) you will continue looking for other investments in which case, access to maximum cash via your HELOC may be important; (2) you *may* end up with positive net income on the property without having the mortgage writeoff - this means a visit from the tax man.

This is true in CA.

I guess I am too late but there is a way that is a stretch and not sure about legalities in California.

I believe you are from NY, and if this is the case, NY and CA are the only states that the conventional loan I outlined previously are not offered (BTW, your credit history or lack of tradelines would have been acceptable).
