helocs are generally easier to obtain and less costly than going through an entire refinance and closing process. you would be able to use it as you please long after this deal. for example, you could use it for this deal and then pay it off and do it again. futhermore, since it is on you primary, you will be able to get a better loan to value. do not quote me exactly, but a cash out refi you can probably do 75% LTV and a heloc maybe you can get into the 80s. once you go to refinance your investment property, you will still need to qualify even though you rehabbed it and already own it. that does not guarantee you or really make it easier to qualify on the back end. the lender i work with is not a conventional lender and would be able to look past alot of the things that conventional lenders will get hung up on (self employment status, etc). happy to share more or quote your deal!
