Fast ways to paying off a heloc

Hello, what are some fast ways to paying off a heloc or mortgage.

If you are using a HELOC for financing, it's important to go into it already having a strategy in place to get out quickly. That is why this is often used with the BRRR method, because refinancing a property after you renovated it, and then using that money to pay off the HELOC is crucial. HELOCs are essentially like credit cards. They tend to have higher interest rates that fluctuate. And you don't pay anything unless you are carrying a balance. So if you have already charged money towards a HELOC and you didn't have a plan to get out of it before you started, treat it like any other high interest credit card and funnel all your extra cash towards it to pay it off as quick as possible. If you haven't used it yet, make sure you run your numbers on the property you are purchasing so that when you refinance out, you will be able to pull that money out and pay it off quickly.

Hope that helps! Have a wonderful week :)
