Conrad Johnson Cash or HELOC - what is better?
5 July 2019 | 5 replies
Conversely, you can certainly use a HELOC for buy & hold property, but there are some gotchas (assuming conforming loans for your refi):Cash-Out Refi before 6mo'sIf you refi before 6 mo's, you can only cash-out up to your original purchase price, which parks a fair bit of equity in the property, such as all your rehab costs.With a HELOC, you might end up with an open balance after the refi, such as if you sourced both purchase & rehab from your HELOC.With cash, you'll walk away with less cash than you invested but will have no open balances to pay.A hybrid approach might be to use HELOC for purchase and cash for rehab.Cash-Out Refi after waiting 6 mo's, aka a 'seasoned refi'Presuming your BRRRR numbers work out as intended, you should be able to recover your investment and still have equity required by the refi lender.With a HELOC, you'll carry at least 6 mo's of interest, but you shouldn't have an open balance after the refi.With cash, you'll get back your investment and won't have the carrying costs you had w/the HELOC.
