HELOC vs Mortgage first time buyer
Hello everyone. I'm 4 years from being able to retire from the military and dont want to work in gov contracting the rest of my life. I used the VA loan for my first home in San Diego and have 200k in equity that I would like to use that to get my feet wet in a rental property.
Going forward, should I use a HELOC or traditional financing method for my first rental property? I want to be as prepared as possible so every angle pros and cons would be greatly appreciated.
