Thinking about buying a second property but don’t want to sell your current home?
Your home equity could potentially help fund the next purchase.
A HELOC can provide access to capital for a down payment, investment property, renovation or other real estate opportunities. But it also comes with risks — especially variable rates, additional debt and the fact that your primary home secures the HELOC.
The best strategy isn’t always HELOC vs. mortgage. In some situations, using a HELOC for the down payment and a traditional mortgage for the remaining balance may make sense.
Before leveraging your home equity, consider:
- How much equity you can safely access
- Whether your cash flow can handle higher rates
- How rental income factors into the numbers
- How you plan to repay the HELOC
