While I've found that owning a home and rental properties haven't been the most lucrative investments for me, I still cherish the experience and sense of ownership. However, I've come to realize that the stock market is where I can truly grow my wealth.
After years of building a rental property portfolio, I finally burned out and decided to sell. Now, I'm sitting on about $1 million and looking for a new opportunity to grow my wealth. I'm considering investing in the stock market, but I want to make sure I'm making a smart decision. I've heard stories about people losing money in the market, but I've also seen how it can be a powerful tool for building wealth over time. I'd love to hear your thoughts - what do you think I should consider as I explore this option?
A cautious investment approach is important. Consider allocating 40-50% of your portfolio to secure investments and consulting with a financial expert to ensure informed decision-making
Absolutely! Most undervalue experts, but their expertise and risk mitigation strategies are invaluable for savvy investors. For those with busy schedules, monitoring the market is challenging, so we delegate to experts. Personally, I've seen significant growth by working with an expert - my portfolio has grown to $1.3M, a 45% increase from last year, with robust diversification and inflation hedging.

Chandler, you forgot to mention that after taking a HELOC and borrowing some money out of it, you can lock in a low rate for just $100 to $150. That way, you rate doesn't go up. Also, you can write off the HELOC interest rate in your taxes. HELOC is awesome and it has done big things for me.

A guy asked if he should take a HELOC for a home renovation. I said, "I wouldn't," and suggested saving instead. He didn't reply. Many homeowners are surprised by the idea of saving money instead of using home equity for projects like a backyard deck. I chose to save and invest in the stock market instead, which has helped me build long-term financial stability without taking on additional debt.

I’m in Ohio and the housing market here over the last 7-8 years is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Homes that were bought for $130K in 2015 are now being sold for $590k. I’m talking about tiny, disgusting, poorly built 950 square foot shit boxes in quiet mediocre neighbourhoods. Then you’ve got Better, average sized homes in nicer neighbourhoods that were $300K+ 10 years ago selling for $750k+ now. Wild times.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

Facing a financial crunch, especially as seniors, we're pondering the idea of cashing in on our home equity. The question is, should we invest the money, rent, or relocate?

I just opened a $135k heloc through my credit union. Closing costs were only $400. Going to use it as a down payment for a new home so I can keep my old home as rental property.
As someone that works for a top ten bank in the US, I can confirm that this is the way. HELOCS always made me nervous just because the idea of your home being collateral is scary in itself, but if you use it responsibly you can use it to multiply your real estate portfolio instead of losing anything. All the rich people I've helped that own multiple homes and are enjoying life almost always have HELOCS just so they have funds available to pounce when the housing market crashes.
Good points - I'd use a HELOC for emergencies and renovations to increase the property value of your current home. I recommend using a fixed loan for a rental properties for budgeting purposes but hey, at the end of the day everything is a gamble and it's whatever you're comfortable with.
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
I subscribed for a few trading courses but it didn't help much, been getting suggestions to use a proper financial advisor, how did you go about touching base with your adviser
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $485k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.

Yo, nice content. I got a line of credit on my home which I used to purchase 3 more rentals. At time of withdrawal of my line, the bank actually offered me a fixed rate of 3.15 for 25 year pay off period. Awesome, no adjustable rate for me
Nice you’re bank listened to your needs. You first got a heloc because you probably didn’t know how much you needed or when you will need it and then once you figured out how much you’re rentals costed and how long it will take to pay back (mostly likely more than a year) your bank converted the heloc to a heil (home equity installment loan)
Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.
Great video! Only feedback is that if you have a HELOC, you can still refinance. The new lender will have to subordinate the HELOC’s lien position, and you can choose to either keep or close the HELOC at that point. I’m a loan officer 😉
@@ohudidntknow8835 by all means, if it’s available 100%. But rates right now are the highest they have been in over a decade. I am a loan officer myself and I can help you out with any questions you may have!
@@AloneNTheZone that’s correct. Fixed = locked in rate for x Terms. HELOCs are 99% of the time variable, meaning they fluctuate with the Fed funds rate
thanks for education for people who come from other countries and have no clue how to survive in this country..talking about myself..learn a good lesson today..thanks again and wish you a good luck in your business project.
I’m looking into a HELOC right now for some renovations. We’re already locked into a low rate with our mortgage…the current rates are higher than what we already have, so a cash out refinance seems out of the question. I like the idea of a HELOC, but there’s the variable interest rates AND it’s using our home as collateral.
Right now, pretty much all banks have suspended HELOCs. I just got one through Bank of America. It's the prime rate (currently 8% plus 1.37%). However, I did get a 6 mo intriductory rate of 6.74%. Not too bad.
My heloc has gone up from 3.75 to 8% interest this year. So I have applied for credit cards with 18-24 months of 0% interest. I’m making purchases with the credit card to free up money to pay down the heloc. Same amount of debt but less interest.
That is a VERY dangerous game you're playing. Better to be on more solid ground by refinancing to a lower interest rate. Cut up the credit cards and live within your means. Even if its boring its better than losing everything.
I refinanced 2 years ago at 2.5% but now I need to put money into the house for updating. Would I be better off with a heloc or home equity loan or cash out refi
We are in a bind and until I land a new job, arent able to pay the mortgage. Which method could we use to help? Or is it impossible? Credit 780 and about 80k in equity.
HELOC is variable. Heloans is fixed. HELOC is about 5.99% includes discounts of 0.250% for automatic payment and 0.600% for a $60,000 initial withdrawal. A Heloans or HELOC are not meant to refi property.
What if I own a home but don't want to sell it. Should I get a Heloc to fund building homes on some land I own? Or should I just sell the home and use that money for funding?
Good morning and Happy Friday! This content is right on time for me, I’m in the process of getting a HELOC or a Home Equity Loan and I’m trying to see which one would work best for me. I’m paying a few bills off, minor home remodeling and getting my car fixed.
When you refinance. your heloc is rolled into your refinance. Because it's part of the house. It doesn't hinder your refinance. That would be your debt to ratio,credit score and the amount of money you earn.
Question Chandler - What if you want to use equity for an investment property and you have a crazy low interest rate so refinancing would put you +3% ?
Can you use a HELOC to pay off a credit card? If Im using the HELOC to BRRRR and use my credit cards on the renovation for cashback/points, I can pay off the CC Renovation cost with the HELOC right?
My question is: I'm about 15 years away from retirement and have 8 years left on my loan. Many have told me I should refi to 30 years and pull out the cash. Why would someone want a house payment when they are 60 to 80 years old, when their income becomes less thru retirement, unless purchasing a rental? Isn't it better to try to be debt free when you retire?
That’s horrible advice. Focus on paying off the mortgage then maximize your income those final 7 years to increase the amount of money you have for retirement.
So we want to buy property outright with a HELOC for 70,000. We have like $250,000 in equity in our house. We only want to use the $70,000 no more and want to own the land outright by doing this. Does this make sense to do??
Even if you open a home equity line of credit and never use it, you won't have to pay anything back. Keep in mind that whether you use your line of credit or not, you may be charged an annual fee, which is the cost you pay for having the line of credit available for when you need it.
but how much is the monthly payback payment? if i get a $100k heloc, and spend $10k of it. How long do i have to pay that back? and how much will my payment be??
Nice thank you for this video! You mentioned it's usually a couple hundred to access the money, is that closing costs? I just spoke to a lender that mentioned HELOC closing costs are like 6k-7k on a $250k loan... maybe seems high?
It really isn't about how much you save, it's about how you manage your money. Whether you work to earn income or invest, it still boils down to income Vs expenses, so yeah you may look into investment advisors for a strategy that suits your timing.
I recently did a heloc with a fixed rate with Figure they offer 5,10,15 and 30 years. They didn’t use an appraisal but they checked the county records vrs what I own on my mortgage
@@garay12341 curious how you covered the payments so fast. we're trying to find a funding option to build a couple units. but with permitting and construction times, won't see revenue for at least a year
@@cwr8618 yea I’m building a house. I started by using lowes and 3 Home-depot credit cards. When I was paying minimum payments the really give me high credit limits. Also some chase credit cards for material I can’t find at those stores. I took the lowest payment at figure which is 30 years fixed. Like $500 for $90k still height but I paid some credit cards like chase $300 minimum payment for 6k and some of the Home Depot cards. My monthly payment didn’t go up and I still have about 80k to finish up the house. I’m on a final inspection though. Thinking on refinancing to pay everything off for lowest interest if I don’t sell.
Hi Chandler, hope all is well. Bank Of America approved me for a 100k Heloc @ a FIXED RATE of 7.75 for 30 years. The variable rate was 7.50 so I went with the fixed. I can withdraw for 10 years. What your thoughts?
There are both variable rate and fixed rate HELOCS. Fixed rate HELOCs won't change even if the market does, locked in for whatever time span you choose when applying. Just got a HELOC at 6% for 10 years to consolidate a lot of high rate debt like credit cards.
Need to have a bank that manages risk appropriately. Some bank allow you to leverage a lot but you wanna stay on 70-75% of the appraised value which can protect you from the downside risk.
You seem to have experience. I have an approved HELOC of 100k. I’m using 40k (25% down) for this duplex where I’ll be cash positive $800 monthly. How do you go about paying the HELOC itself after already paying mortgage on the investment property? Should I combine them? Or refinance? What do you think?
Hello! Great video. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a stab at answering my question - I was recently offered to participate in the purchase of a couple of businesses through private equity and am trying to determine the best way to fund these deals/opportunities. Both have an approximate payback period of 1yr. I was originally thinking to use the equity I have in an investment property ($195k mortgage at 3.125%, $350k Zestimate). This property was just put into an LLC but has not yet been taxed as part of a business. Thanks!
Hey @Chandler the HELOC as a downpayment is something I am actually doing this right now. There are FIXED rate HELOCs too. So it works if you're not doing a variable rate which is always risky.
I pulled my HELOC to buy an investment property and my credit score plummeted from 780 to 560. What can I do here? I was hoping the credit bureaus would categorize HELOC as "mortgage" debt but it shows as revolving (what it actually is, of course).
Actually, I found out that heloc is not considered in the summation of revolving credit, according to Credit Karma. I do have my CCs maxed out, totaling 60K. That is the true reason of my score plummet.
at 11:47 you refer about any type of refi? even cash out refi?? casue im thinking on doing heloc on my property but its my first time and im thinking buying a rental proterty so ican strat growing my portfolio ...
I have a question wondering if anyone who's watching this have some advice and answers to give me. I have a property which gone up value by 50k and my tenant have been paying my mortgage approximately 3 years and now giving me a problem so I am using my leasing office to try to kick him out. Is this good time to sell the house or keep it? I know housing price is still somewhat going up but will go down eventually so not sure if it is good time to sell the property right now or not? Does anybody have advice what I should do?
Depends on what you paid for the house. For example: I bought one of my houses at the peak of the market in 06. My house was never worth what I paid after 08, until this past year. I finally sold it. However, you also have capital gains tax to consider. I didn't have to pay capital gains tax because I did a large renovation on it before I sold it which made my profits under the amount set for paying this tax. You'll have to look at the laws. If you're wanting to buy another house with your profits.. You'll end up in the same situation I was in back in 08 and for the last 12 years or so. Houses are not a bad investment. They will be a steady currency when the dollar is worthless. Ultimately, I decided on selling that house because I moved many states away and managing it long distance was too difficult.
Fifth third bank had a crazy promotion. 1.2% interest rate for the first year of the heloc. We missed it by a day. I believe you can lock your interest rate in. I could be wrong.
Exactly. Plus you can only borrow up to 80% ltv on most cash out refi’s so you’re still protecting your equity AND you aren’t taking out a second lien on your property
@@Kymv8382 if you take out a heloc and decide you want to keep the equity in your investment, cant you then take out a cash out refi and off the heloc and turn it into a 30 year fixed rate?
@@user-ru2hf1sg4e Theoretically yes, but it makes it more difficult. Remember, a heloc is a second lien on your property. Also, remember, your LTV (loan to value may be affected to the point where you can’t even pay off the heloc because you must maintain at least 80% equity on a cash out refi. With heloc most people’s “CLTV” , combined loan to value, is that above 80% and they’re screwed. A lady I just dealt with was in a similar position. She took a heloc for renovations on her primary and was literally banking on the fact that her home would appraise at a value high enough to pay the heloc off, guess what, with the market we’re in and her variable rate on her heloc, she’s scared to the death to lose her houseb
@@Kymv8382 ya that was something i made sure of. My home is paid off and it was appraised at 700k and my heloc is only 300k. But i was able to buy 11 units with it that cash flow at 7k a month after expenses. We are renting put my primary home for 3k and if i cash out refi i can still get 250k and the mortgage will be paid by my renter and i will have another 250k to invest with.
Great video, Chandler!! One option I’ve offered as a loan officer to my clients purchasing investment property is the no-income DSCR option. Pretty straight forward option for investors.
What about home fixes, such as pipes that need replacement or ac unit that needs replacement? Heloc or refinance? I have a very good interest rate currently with my mortgage payments, wouldn’t a refi change that to current (much higher) interest rate?
Great video! Would like an update where you talk about the current rate status with the Feds likely raising rates again 0.5-0.75 in July. But I like that your bottom line was to have an exit strategy, which is an important real estate rule as well....
Chandler, what about if you use a heloc to buy a rental property, and the bank will allow you to roll the amount once used into a fixed rate?? And obviously the numbers work. Thoughts on this?
Awesome video!! Lots of good info. I'm about to try and get a HELOC in the property I live in I bought Subject to. I was debating refinancing but this video helped me understand the pros and cons better.
Great video! I have a couple notes: - You can't technically draw from your HELOC "whenever" you want. There is typically a draw period; most common being 10 years (payments are typically 10 years interest only payments, 20 years principle + interest payments). - Also, make sure you shop around. It can be common to find a HELOC promotion for Prime minus a percentage (4.75 - 0.50 = 4.25). - You can refinance your property if you have a HELOC. A HELOC simply adds an additional (subordinate) lien to your property. - Sometimes you can lock in your rate on a HELOC. Look into this with your financial institution. FYI a locked (fixed) rate will typically be greater than the current variable rate. This can be used to hedge increasing rates.
Are you penalized for pulling out the entire amount right away? I was planning a few projects I would need funds for up front. But planned on beginning repayment immediately as well.
Hey Chandler great video. I just recently got a HELOC on my house. I plan on using it for rental investment properties. Not for a down payment, I agree that could get a bit sketchy if you have no way to repay it. But more for short term bills like renovations, etc. I think it will work out great. I posted a video on how I got approved a month or 2 ago. I also posted a video on HELOC vs cash out refi. Keep the great content coming.
What if I needed to do some work on the house? Does it make more sense to get a loan, or use a Heloc? Say, I needed a new HVAC, or wanted the inside of the house painted? Thanks in advance.
Several of the biggest market experts have been voicing their opinions on exactly how awful they think the next downturn would be, and how far equities may have to go, as recession draws closer and inflation continues well above the Fed's 2% objective.

Great video Chandler! Alot of great points here! Just a note here You may have missed.I just closed on a heloc and I'm going to use it to purchase a rental and it didn't cost me anything!

an amazing financial advisor. Regina's expertise and guidance were crucial in helping me understand the best strategies for leveraging my home equity and making smart investments.
She not only helped me secure a favorable home equity loan but also provided invaluable advice on where to invest and how to stay disciplined. Her personalized approach and deep knowledge of financial markets made a huge difference in my journey to financial freedom.
It's challenging to find a reliable advisor, and I appreciate your input. Seeing the successes you've achieved through Regina, I would love to have access to her if you wouldn't mind sharing how.
I just opened a $135k heloc through my credit union. Closing costs were only $400.
Going to use it as a down payment for a new home so I can keep my old home as rental property.
Im thinking about it too , how is it working for you ?
I’m sure if you invest on long term,would say it’s gonna turn out a great year for you
Hi which credit union do you have ? My current credit union doesn’t offer Heloc
As someone that works for a top ten bank in the US, I can confirm that this is the way.
HELOCS always made me nervous just because the idea of your home being collateral is scary in itself, but if you use it responsibly you can use it to multiply your real estate portfolio instead of losing anything.
All the rich people I've helped that own multiple homes and are enjoying life almost always have HELOCS just so they have funds available to pounce when the housing market crashes.
Good points - I'd use a HELOC for emergencies and renovations to increase the property value of your current home. I recommend using a fixed loan for a rental properties for budgeting purposes but hey, at the end of the day everything is a gamble and it's whatever you're comfortable with.
I believe he's saying heloc usually used for the downpayment of investment properties 😉

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
I subscribed for a few trading courses but it didn't help much, been getting suggestions to use a proper financial advisor, how did you go about touching base with your adviser
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $485k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
Wow, that's stirring! Do you mind connecting me to
your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio.
I've actually been looking into advisors lately, the news I've been seeing in the market hasn't been so encouraging. who's the person guiding you?

Yo, nice content. I got a line of credit on my home which I used to purchase 3 more rentals. At time of withdrawal of my line, the bank actually offered me a fixed rate of 3.15 for 25 year pay off period. Awesome, no adjustable rate for me
Hi, what bank you are dealing with?
How you get fixed. Did you get a promotion or ask for one?
Can you say what lender or bank did you use?
?
Nice you’re bank listened to your needs. You first got a heloc because you probably didn’t know how much you needed or when you will need it and then once you figured out how much you’re rentals costed and how long it will take to pay back (mostly likely more than a year) your bank converted the heloc to a heil (home equity installment loan)
Wow, this video couldn’t have come at a better time! I just closed on a $80k HELOC yesterday!
Yeah, the algos are real…
How is it going now?
What bank?
Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.
Great synopsis, wish I watched this video before watching all the others. Definitely going to subscribe now.
Video starts at 8:10. Good info!
Great video! Only feedback is that if you have a HELOC, you can still refinance. The new lender will have to subordinate the HELOC’s lien position, and you can choose to either keep or close the HELOC at that point.

So If I cash out refi, can I or should I refi for a lower rate if available

Yep I did that !
Figure company is doing a fixed interest rate. Does that mean the interest doesn’t change?
@@AloneNTheZone that’s correct. Fixed = locked in rate for x Terms. HELOCs are 99% of the time variable, meaning they fluctuate with the Fed funds rate
thanks for education for people who come from other countries and have no clue how to survive in this country..talking about myself..learn a good lesson today..thanks again and wish you a good luck in your business project.
I’m looking into a HELOC right now for some renovations. We’re already locked into a low rate with our mortgage…the current rates are higher than what we already have, so a cash out refinance seems out of the question. I like the idea of a HELOC, but there’s the variable interest rates AND it’s using our home as collateral.
Right now, pretty much all banks have suspended HELOCs. I just got one through Bank of America. It's the prime rate (currently 8% plus 1.37%). However, I did get a 6 mo intriductory rate of 6.74%. Not too bad.
I’m glad I found this video.
It broadened my knowledge about refinancing and HELOC.
Im not sure if a cash out refinance is worth it since my current home Interest is 2.5%. Or a Heloc which is 8% locked or 2.99 variable
Great video. I need to get new windows in my house ( $20,000). Should i use a heloc for it. I have $200, 000 in equity.
If your current windows leak you'll also SAVE$ on utilities after new ones installed!
This was the best explanation of a HELOC.
My heloc has gone up from 3.75 to 8% interest this year.
So I have applied for credit cards with 18-24 months of 0% interest. I’m making purchases with the credit card to free up money to pay down the heloc. Same amount of debt but less interest.
So either way ur fucked
That is a VERY dangerous game you're playing. Better to be on more solid ground by refinancing to a lower interest rate. Cut up the credit cards and live within your means. Even if its boring its better than losing everything.
@@bluemm2852 that’s good advice. Fortunately, I should have the heloc and credit cards paid off before the end of the year.
Man, I've been looking for a video like this months. Thank you!
I refinanced 2 years ago at 2.5% but now I need to put money into the house for updating. Would I be better off with a heloc or home equity loan or cash out refi
We are in a bind and until I land a new job, arent able to pay the mortgage. Which method could we use to help? Or is it impossible? Credit 780 and about 80k in equity.
A HELOC is definitely better than refinancing IMO. No need to pay interest on money your not using. I like that it's revolving credit.
I agree I want to do a heloc and being I bought last year with 30 year 3% fixed I dont see myself refinancing anytime soon with current rates.
HELOC is variable. Heloans is fixed. HELOC is about 5.99% includes discounts of 0.250% for automatic payment and 0.600% for a $60,000 initial withdrawal. A Heloans or HELOC are not meant to refi property.
So it’s like a credit card basically ???? That sounds bad for financially irresponsible people is it??

What if I own a home but don't want to sell it. Should I get a Heloc to fund building homes on some land I own? Or should I just sell the home and use that money for funding?
What if you got a low interest rate already 2.3% doing a refinance wouldn’t be convenient right? Doubt they would give a lower interest rate
Same situation any advice current rate 2.5
Do you advise to pull a heloc to pay credit cards debt?
Good morning and Happy Friday! This content is right on time for me, I’m in the process of getting a HELOC or a Home Equity Loan and I’m trying to see which one would work best for me. I’m paying a few bills off, minor home remodeling and getting my car fixed.
This was the perfect video for me to watch. Thank you! I'm almost breathing a sigh of relief.
When you refinance. your heloc is rolled into your refinance. Because it's part of the house. It doesn't hinder your refinance. That would be your debt to ratio,credit score and the amount of money you earn.
Is there such fee as county fee to charge for heloc plus their fee total charge $3700.
Question Chandler - What if you want to use equity for an investment property and you have a crazy low interest rate so refinancing would put you +3% ?
Maria Brisbane helped me secure HELOC with 650 credit score

Well said, but can you describe in details on paying off a mortgage from the Heloc ?
Can you use a HELOC to pay off a credit card? If Im using the HELOC to BRRRR and use my credit cards on the renovation for cashback/points, I can pay off the CC Renovation cost with the HELOC right?
I was wondering the same thing!
Can you use it to put it to a down payment for a home?
My question is: I'm about 15 years away from retirement and have 8 years left on my loan. Many have told me I should refi to 30 years and pull out the cash. Why would someone want a house payment when they are 60 to 80 years old, when their income becomes less thru retirement, unless purchasing a rental? Isn't it better to try to be debt free when you retire?
look into a reverse mortgage
That’s horrible advice. Focus on paying off the mortgage then maximize your income those final 7 years to increase the amount of money you have for retirement.
So we want to buy property outright with a HELOC for 70,000. We have like $250,000 in equity in our house. We only want to use the $70,000 no more and want to own the land outright by doing this. Does this make sense to do??
Even if you open a home equity line of credit and never use it, you won't have to pay anything back. Keep in mind that whether you use your line of credit or not, you may be charged an annual fee, which is the cost you pay for having the line of credit available for when you need it.
but how much is the monthly payback payment? if i get a $100k heloc, and spend $10k of it. How long do i have to pay that back? and how much will my payment be??
Nice thank you for this video! You mentioned it's usually a couple hundred to access the money, is that closing costs?
I just spoke to a lender that mentioned HELOC closing costs are like 6k-7k on a $250k loan... maybe seems high?
I got 80k in debt. My property had 500k in equity. Do I go get a heloc to pay my bills? Or do I refi?
It really isn't about how much you save, it's about how you manage your money. Whether you work to earn income or invest, it still boils down to income Vs expenses, so yeah you may look into investment advisors for a strategy that suits your timing.
SCAM
I recently did a heloc with a fixed rate with Figure they offer 5,10,15 and 30 years. They didn’t use an appraisal but they checked the county records vrs what I own on my mortgage
don't you have to draw the entire amount on the first draw though? i was looking into figure but that's a huge problem if you want to meter your draws
@@cwr8618 yes I think there is no other option. But even if I didn’t need all that cash I worked around it with the payments.
@@garay12341 curious how you covered the payments so fast. we're trying to find a funding option to build a couple units. but with permitting and construction times, won't see revenue for at least a year
@@cwr8618 yea I’m building a house. I started by using lowes and 3 Home-depot credit cards. When I was paying minimum payments the really give me high credit limits. Also some chase credit cards for material I can’t find at those stores. I took the lowest payment at figure which is 30 years fixed. Like $500 for $90k still height but I paid some credit cards like chase $300 minimum payment for 6k and some of the Home Depot cards. My monthly payment didn’t go up and I still have about 80k to finish up the house. I’m on a final inspection though. Thinking on refinancing to pay everything off for lowest interest if I don’t sell.
What about using a HELPC for home renovations / improvements?
Hi Chandler, hope all is well. Bank Of America approved me for a 100k Heloc @ a FIXED RATE of 7.75 for 30 years. The variable rate was 7.50 so I went with the fixed. I can withdraw for 10 years. What your thoughts?
How about a HELOC to pay for the addition of a couple rental units on your property ?
There are both variable rate and fixed rate HELOCS. Fixed rate HELOCs won't change even if the market does, locked in for whatever time span you choose when applying. Just got a HELOC at 6% for 10 years to consolidate a lot of high rate debt like credit cards.
Those a Heloc based on credit score?
With whom did you get the Heloc at 6%

Thank you for explaining that...very informative
One thing to remember on a HELOC is that if property values fall, the bank can cut you off from using it. Had that happen to me once.
Thank you. This super important
This is what I’ve been curious about.
That’s why you should withdraw it all and put it to good use. Otherwise, the risk is there the bank will cut you off if the market value waivers.
Need to have a bank that manages risk appropriately. Some bank allow you to leverage a lot but you wanna stay on 70-75% of the appraised value which can protect you from the downside risk.
You seem to have experience. I have an approved HELOC of 100k. I’m using 40k (25% down) for this duplex where I’ll be cash positive $800 monthly. How do you go about paying the HELOC itself after already paying mortgage on the investment property? Should I combine them? Or refinance? What do you think?
Hello! Great video. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a stab at answering my question - I was recently offered to participate in the purchase of a couple of businesses through private equity and am trying to determine the best way to fund these deals/opportunities. Both have an approximate payback period of 1yr. I was originally thinking to use the equity I have in an investment property ($195k mortgage at 3.125%, $350k Zestimate). This property was just put into an LLC but has not yet been taxed as part of a business. Thanks!
Hey @Chandler the HELOC as a downpayment is something I am actually doing this right now. There are FIXED rate HELOCs too. So it works if you're not doing a variable rate which is always risky.
I s a HELOC good If I have to replace my backyard fence for say 8000.00?
I pulled my HELOC to buy an investment property and my credit score plummeted from 780 to 560. What can I do here? I was hoping the credit bureaus would categorize HELOC as "mortgage" debt but it shows as revolving (what it actually is, of course).
This is interesting to hear because in my line of work I see Helocs on credit reports listed as Mortgages all the time.
What about a home equity loan?
Actually, I found out that heloc is not considered in the summation of revolving credit, according to Credit Karma. I do have my CCs maxed out, totaling 60K. That is the true reason of my score plummet.
You have 60K of maxed CC and borrowed more? Yikes.

I have a question wondering if anyone who's watching this have some advice and answers to give me. I have a property which gone up value by 50k and my tenant have been paying my mortgage approximately 3 years and now giving me a problem so I am using my leasing office to try to kick him out. Is this good time to sell the house or keep it? I know housing price is still somewhat going up but will go down eventually so not sure if it is good time to sell the property right now or not? Does anybody have advice what I should do?
Depends on what you paid for the house. For example: I bought one of my houses at the peak of the market in 06. My house was never worth what I paid after 08, until this past year. I finally sold it. However, you also have capital gains tax to consider. I didn't have to pay capital gains tax because I did a large renovation on it before I sold it which made my profits under the amount set for paying this tax. You'll have to look at the laws. If you're wanting to buy another house with your profits.. You'll end up in the same situation I was in back in 08 and for the last 12 years or so. Houses are not a bad investment. They will be a steady currency when the dollar is worthless. Ultimately, I decided on selling that house because I moved many states away and managing it long distance was too difficult.
What about furnishing your home?
Fifth third bank had a crazy promotion. 1.2% interest rate for the first year of the heloc. We missed it by a day. I believe you can lock your interest rate in. I could be wrong.

Should I use lending tree?
Cant you just do a cash out refi if you cant pay it back quickly and just have a 30 year fixed rate?
Exactly. Plus you can only borrow up to 80% ltv on most cash out refi’s so you’re still protecting your equity AND you aren’t taking out a second lien on your property
@@Kymv8382 if you take out a heloc and decide you want to keep the equity in your investment, cant you then take out a cash out refi and off the heloc and turn it into a 30 year fixed rate?
@@user-ru2hf1sg4e Theoretically yes, but it makes it more difficult. Remember, a heloc is a second lien on your property. Also, remember, your LTV (loan to value may be affected to the point where you can’t even pay off the heloc because you must maintain at least 80% equity on a cash out refi. With heloc most people’s “CLTV” , combined loan to value, is that above 80% and they’re screwed.
A lady I just dealt with was in a similar position. She took a heloc for renovations on her primary and was literally banking on the fact that her home would appraise at a value high enough to pay the heloc off, guess what, with the market we’re in and her variable rate on her heloc, she’s scared to the death to lose her houseb
@@Kymv8382 ya that was something i made sure of. My home is paid off and it was appraised at 700k and my heloc is only 300k. But i was able to buy 11 units with it that cash flow at 7k a month after expenses. We are renting put my primary home for 3k and if i cash out refi i can still get 250k and the mortgage will be paid by my renter and i will have another 250k to invest with.
Can Interest be paid down like home loans?
If you refi can you use the funds for any property even overseas?

Awesome video!! Lots of good info. I'm about to try and get a HELOC in the property I live in I bought Subject to. I was debating refinancing but this video helped me understand the pros and cons better.
Great video what up grades on a home you recommended
Great video! I have a couple notes:
- You can't technically draw from your HELOC "whenever" you want. There is typically a draw period; most common being 10 years (payments are typically 10 years interest only payments, 20 years principle + interest payments).
- Also, make sure you shop around. It can be common to find a HELOC promotion for Prime minus a percentage (4.75 - 0.50 = 4.25).
- You can refinance your property if you have a HELOC. A HELOC simply adds an additional (subordinate) lien to your property.
- Sometimes you can lock in your rate on a HELOC. Look into this with your financial institution. FYI a locked (fixed) rate will typically be greater than the current variable rate. This can be used to hedge increasing rates.
Fixed rate home loans are not HELOC’s. They are home equity loans.
@@brahmmauer7927 correct, however, the remaining available credit (if there’s credit remaining) can still be used as a traditional HELOC.
