Investment Strategy - Using HELOC for Immediate Purchase:I'm considering using the HELOC to purchase a property, especially those available through wholesalers like New Western, which require immediate cash payment.My strategy includes refinancing the property later with a traditional loan to secure a lower interest rate and more stable long-term financing.

My lender for the Bay Area said that when calculating qualification, they would have to assume I would occupy the largest / most expensive unit and that cannot be included in the calculation.

Based on a rough analysis for a project timeline, I believe the total project can be completed in 5-7 months with the team I have available if we get involved in completing the work on the project.Deal Analysis as a whole - Actual Costs may be slightly different but estimates should be fairly closePost Construction Estimated Market Value - Lot 1: $379,000 Lot 2: $307,000 Total Estimated Market Value $686,000+- $102,000 - Cost to payoff HML & Previous Builder- $154,800 - Estimated Cost to complete House #1- $170,370 - Estimated Cost to complete House #2: Includes New Well/Septic $7500, Impact Fees $2100, Permits $1000= $427,170 - Estimated Cost to Payoff HML, Complete Construction on House #1, and Construct House #2+ $686,000 - Total Future Market Value- $20,580 - 3% Buyer Agent commissions as the current owner(Listing Agent) will be listing these properties without compensation- $2,538 - Real Estate Transfer Taxes- $1,500 - Settlement Costs Paid at Closing______________________________________________ $234,212- $27,900 - Payment to Seller for Down Payment made by seller to HML @ Origination (For her to break even)= $206,312 - Potential Return before any Interest/Fees/Taxes/EtcI've spoken to a few HM Lenders and ran rough numbers by them.

I can only speak on the DSCR industry, but I always tell clients "if the loan is over $250k, expect closing costs to range from 2-3% of the loan amount if a broker is included".The question comes down to is the rate you're buying down worth the costs?
