Biggest lesson i learnt in 2023 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and low a strategy with a long term edge.
Nobody knows anything; You need to create your own process, manage risk, and stick to the plan, through thick or thin, While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.
Uncertainty... it took me 5 years to stop trying to predict what bout to happen in market based on charts studying, cause you never know. not having a mentor cost me 5 years of pain I learn to go we’re the market is wanting to go and keep it simple with discipline.

I didn’t achieve financial freedom until I turned 40. As a US citizen, I raised capital by taking out a home equity loan. The interest rate was much lower than other loans, which made it a smart choice. With patience and discipline, I reinvested my earnings and avoided impulsive decisions. This strategy helped me grow my wealth, eventually allowing me to buy a new home and a car. If you’re looking to raise capital and achieve financial freedom, consider this approach.

It's challenging to find a reliable advisor, and I appreciate your input. Seeing the successes you've achieved through Regina, I would love to have access to her if you wouldn't mind sharing how.
I work with Regina Louise Collaro as my fiduciary advisor. Simply look up the name. You would discover the information you needed to schedule an appointment.
I'm only using 26,000 for dedt consolidation. My plan is to pay 500 instead of 237 in the draw period. After that me and my wife will save it for emergency use only.
Great Idea, just stay disciplined and live below your means. The mistake is when people consolidate debt onto a HELOC, and then go rack up the Credit cards again. Good luck!
Good informational video. I'm currently in the process of getting a HELOC for debt consolidation. If everything goes to plan, I'll be debt free in a couple of years.
The amount of your HELOC will not change, you would probably want to make sure you paid off the HELOC fast or not use it if you haven't. They wouldn't give you a 100% LTV HELOC, so hopefully that wouldn't happen
Hello With a heloc if you let's say take out 10,000 and you use 6,000 you only pay back the 6,000 is that correct? Does the other 4,000 go back to the value of the home? Or does it still or could it still raise taxes?
Hey Evan thank you for the important information. So my wife and I bought her parents home as a gift of equity so we only paid 60k for it but it is worth about 330k and it needs about 20k in repairs to be up to market standards. Also I want to add equipment towards my business that I have which makes money as well. We are definitely going to talk to our local credit union that I heard has lower rates and we won't have to pay any processing fees. Let me know what you think.
Wow! What a deal man! So you own the property outright or you have a 60k mortgage? Just be careful with the variable rate, and make sure between your wife and your income that you can comfortably afford the HELOc payment each month. Have a solid plan on paying into back, but love the idea investing into your business. Just don’t over leverage
Yeah so we want to stay under the 50k margin using the HELOC and my mortgage is only $690 a month so we should be good I think we can go for the 5 year mark to be a very comfortable spot and have enough money to pay it all back. We don't have any major bills except one car payment and the mortgage. Thank you for your valuable input.
So this is the real question, of using a helco in 2024, with house prices what they are, (around 500k) and interest rates where they are, in order to purchase a cash flow property you need a really good down payment, so if the rental property your trying to buy is 500k and you get heloc for 100k your mortgage on that rental property is going to be 3000 plus plus the heloc of 1000$. If you took out 50k on a heloc like your example and put it on a 500k house down payment your mortgage is 3400$ a month, it’s impossible to get it cash flow
I hear you for sure and that eliminates a lot of the homes for sale, but off market opportunities could work. Below market properties. Or a market with avg sale price of 100-125k
As far as taxes go, I believe he is saying that the potential appraisal on your property could get sent to your county, and they will raise your property taxes based on that new higher appraisal number.
That was what I was trying to say, but I have learnt since that they say that appraisals don't affect home prices but both times I got my properties appraised, they both sky rocketed the next year. Seems fishy lol but just have to run your numbers well
My Current house is appraised at $450K, I don't have a mortgage and would like to take out a HELOC to buy land and build a second property. I'm estimating that it will take about $200,000 to buy the lot and build the house in total as I am a contractor. Depending on the market I could sell the house or keep it. Would HELOC be a good option if I do decide to sell the house as soon I am done with it? House could be built between 8 - 12 months and similar models are selling for $300K.
@@JairoAlvarenga-x8y what market are you in? Will you be the GC? 200k all in for a lot and build sounds amazing. I would ask what your goal is? If you can refinance the new build and keep as a rental take you money back out to pay off the HELOC and potential do another to build a rental portfolio. Or sell take the cash and buy more lots to build
@@evan_phoenix Hey Evan, I'm in Central Florida Market, more specifically Ocala Fl, Kissimmee, Port Charlotte, Sebring. Areas that are currently growing. I know others developing in those areas and are building and selling for similar numbers. My goal is to ultimately build my real estate portfolio but first I would like to start building capital by building. I would be the GC in those project and would do most things in house with my team, thus why the prices to build are so low. I am young so don't have all the capital to build with my own money so that is why I am looking at the HELOC. Afterwards I am planning on getting investors to be able to build more homes once I have the ball rolling. I would really appreciate any advice.
@@JairoAlvarenga-x8y if the numbers make sense that looks like a great plan. Ultimately you are the professional as the GC. But funding through the HELOC to then build and sell is a good way to save up reserves to then put down on rental real estate. Just be confident in your numbers👍 let me know how it goes!
@@JairoAlvarenga-x8yhey man, I also live in the port Charlotte area with the same goals as you... To have a real estate portfolio too. Do you have a financial advisor or something like that
I would contact your real estate professional that will be listing your house and see if those updates will increase the listing price enough to solidify doing the work!
Does it make sense to use Heloc to do the renovation on the house I’m going to purchase as a primary residence? This new primary residence property will have an ADU, and I’m also planning to rent out my existing home has a 2.7% interest rate on it (where Heloc going to borrow the money from). The main thing is that I have cash to pay down payment but I don’t have extra cash to do renovation. Maybe I could just borrow extra money from the new loan? 😅
Is there more risk of losing the property with heloc than without it? In other words, why do they sound like it’s easier to lose it with Heloc than the conventional first mortgage that can foreclose it if you fail to make payments on time 🤔
@@arroyofive9259 how? Isn’t there a cap in CA? Unless you get permits and make significant implements right? How would the county know that you got a private appraisal?
Hey I owned 80k in a car , my job reduces salary from comission from 200k year to 100 k big cut I cannot afford comfortable to pay my car anymore $1300 monthly at 5.5 % interest , so I have a property in Florida renting for $2200 monthly cash flow of 1100 monthly , I am thinking about to get a heloc to pay the car off , with my income now I will be comfortable to pay my expenses monthly and this heloc , also the cash flow I will use a half to put in this heloc to get this debt out in less than 5 years , let me know what are you think please !!
Could you just sell the car and buy a more affordable one? Using a HELOC on a depreciating item is probably not the best use. $1300 is a LOT for a car payment
If you have a good plan already in place to pay back debt, a HELOC can potentially save you $1000's on interest payments. Like having 2 credit cards with 29% interest and getting it down to 8.9% but still paying it off with a plan.
I agree with both @jsalv9130 and @pilot_the_dune ! Ultimately you should be completely honest with yourself and ask yourself if you can be financially responsible. Although a HELOC is a great tool, it can be disastrous if you consolidate your Credit card debt onto the HELOC, and then go and rack up your credit card again. That would leave you between a rock and a hard place! Hope that helps!
@@DirectorJanson just because you have an opinion, doesn’t mean it’s law my friend. A HELOC is a tool and if you use correctly, can be beneficial. If it is used irresponsibly, then not good. Have a great day!

Yea that is definitely a rabbit hole you can go down on youtube lol.
Is the interest rate tax deductible if your cash out to buy vacation home?
Only if you use the money to buy, build, or substantially improve your home. Can't be a rental. Has to be your primary or secondary residence.
Ask your accountant!
Why not just refinance? Keep the money
Sometimes your rate on your mortgage is just too good and makes more sense to refinance
