The question is, when?

[Qwee Parker]

Hello,

I am working on using a HELOC in the near future for investing purposes. I went through some unforeseen circumstances last year that resulted in some late payments on my credit report. Since then, I have been back on track and keep all credit balances low or paid off. My question is, how long do I or should I wait before trying to apply for a HELOC?

Thanks in advance.
