Many would say the HELOC is a better option since you are not taking money from an investment vehicle that would otherwise be earning a profit on those investments (one would hope).

Welcome Nicol Jackson If your home is mostly paid off, a Home Equity Line Of Credit (HELOC) can be a good way to started flipping.

I'm about to close on my HELOC and have several properties I'm chomping at the bit to put an offer on.

I had a lot of equity so I took out a HELOC on this house for some cash.I used the HELOC from rental A for a down payment and remodel for rental B. 

You can get a HELOC set up on a primary but i have never gotten anyone to establish one on my rentals.

I have a little equity in one of the investment properties in NE (none in the primary at the moment) that I intend to use for a HELOC to build up the capital for the first few deals.

I've heard of HELOCs, crowd funding, personal loans, financing and private money.

Heloc on PROP1 to pay in full for PROP2. a) Limits my purchasing power to the low end of my range based on 60% LTV on the equity (Wells Fargo) [(1.189M - 574k)*0.60 = $369k -->  $369k + $200k = $569k of all cash purchasing power].  

You can buy it for cash and get the cash out later, cash-out refi or a HELOC.

I'm looking for a HELOC, at least 80% LTV, with good rates (obviously).
