And today's question comes from Jason. He says, dear Marco, we are looking to take out a HELOC, a Home Equity Line of Crediton our primary residence for the purpose of buying our next home. Since I am a licensed residential contractor, I would like to find a new construction opportunity or a fixer upper fixer property. My question for you is two parts. First, would we be able to get better loan terms as a construction loan / line of credit, through my business or would it be more favorable to finance this as a personal loan? Secondly, there are a lot of HELOC Home Equity Line of Credit products out there. What terms should we be looking for in a favorable agreement and are there terms we should try avoid?

Today's question comes in from Janice and she says, hi Marco. Thank you for taking the time to educate. My question is specifically about age. At the time of investing, I listened to episodes 224 and 225 which had to do with using your principal's home equity to invest, which is what I'm interested in. You briefly mentioned age in one of the episodes but didn't go into detail. Hypothetically, I want to invest equity from my primary residence and rental properties. What recommendations would you give a 30 year old versus a 50 year old if each had $200,000 to invest? I was initially interested in flipping because of the faster turnaround, but have recently come to understand the long term value of buy and hold properties, but maybe that applies more to the younger generation.

Today's question comes from Jonathan and he says: "Hi Marco. My question involves analyzing the risk reward of a cash out refinance to utilize a portion of the equity from our primary residence to hopefully launch into real estate investing. My wife and I have lived in this home in Oregon for the past 10 years. Current equity is about $200,000 but recently tied this to a HELOC for $46,000 which was used to remodel a large portion of our home. We are both around the age of 50 and have been paying into 401k's from our W2 jobs but do not have a long term investment strategy beyond that, single-family homes or small multi-units would be of interest and not necessarily in our current market with a structured goal to scale over time. Thank you for your time! ~Jonathan."
