There are a few little things to consider, but generally that works well.If you get your long-term rental in very well performing locations you can use the positive cash flow to pay the HElOC back.Just to give you the math (the numbers are simplified to make it easy to follow):- You get the HELOC for 70% of the equity = $260K * 70% = $182K- you use $75K for the down payment of the $300k investment property- If you have $500/month positive cash flow it will take you $75000/$500=150 month to pay back the HELOC- When looking at really well-performing deals between 1% rule and 2% rule, you could probably three properties, professionally managed in the right location, each generating $333/month in positive cash flow, so your HELOC would be paid back in about 6 years.- Keep in mind that a HELOC has the benefit of requiring you to only pay interest on the actual balance.

Things that i've noticed:* the north oakland area (where my home is located) may have lost its attractiveness (car break-ins, crazy people, etc) * there are a lot new condo constructions that are offering crazy specials, a friend had his property (a condo) vacant for 3 months.I dont know how to analyze the situation , there are a couple of options:1) Suck it up until April, wait until someone rents in may2) Sell the home - i dont have high hopes, the home had a redfin estimate of 1.4 mill at some point, it now has an estimate of 1.1 mill, but i dont think i'll get more than 1 mill if i'm lucky.

And it has to be centrally located (i.e., inside the 610 loop or not far outside.
