possible private investing? Using Heloc?

Hello!!

I have a family member who paid cash for a house in Miami for 70k. The house is now worth about 250K.

I've never owned a home before and I'm trying to figure out the best way to use the equity in the home. This family member in particular is interested in real estate.

I was wondering if doing a HELOC would be the best way to use the equity in the home to purchase an investment propriety. (thinking more of Flips and BRRR).

These questions might sound silly but please bear with me as I'm trying to have all my ducks in the row.

I know a HELOC is about 80% of the value and they will have to show proof of income that they will be able to cover payments to qualify.

Since the house was purchased cash, does that mean they will have to go to a bank to get a HELOC? Will they now have a mortgage payment and then any interest payments for any money used for the HELOC?

If there is more then one person name on the house will both have to show income to pay the interest payments?

Has anyone invested with HELOC willing to share their experience?

Thank you!!

Neph
