When faced with the opportunity to invest in real estate, one key decision often comes up: Is it better to use cash on hand or tap into home equity through a HELOC?
This episode dives into the pros and cons of both strategies. Using cash can provide simplicity, speed, and peace of mind—without monthly repayment obligations or exposure to rising interest rates. On the other hand, accessing equity through a HELOC offers flexibility and leverage, but also introduces debt service, rate variability, and risk that must be managed carefully.
We explore how current market conditions, interest rate trends, and property performance in different markets can all impact the effectiveness of either approach. You'll also learn how strategic tools like the 1031 exchange can help preserve capital and build long-term wealth, regardless of which funding path you choose.
If you're deciding between using equity or cash to fund your next move, don't make the decision in a vacuum. Speak with one of our expert investment counselors for a free consultation to help you map out the strategy that best fits your goals and financial situation.
