Say we transform my house, finish up with 30k in equity, as well as take out the home equity loan for which amount. Can we spin around as well as make use of which 30k as the down remuneration upon an additional property?
Edit: The brand new skill would be used to renovate/flip as well as sell.

Heck yes! There are no restrictions on how you can use your HELOC. Here’s the deal, when purchasing another property, the new lender MAY want to "source" the funds for the down payment.
Via your credit report, they’ll see that you drew the funds from the HELOC. This MAY be a problem to the new lender. It depends on the LTV (loan to value ratio) of the new purchase (under 60-70% they won’t care), or excellent credit. Also, if you can show your account has plenty cash anyways, it will be moot.
The lender USUALLY likes the down payment to be from your hard-earned bank account, and NOT from an "equity line gamble." You may want to let the money sit in a bank account for 3 months to "season", then go at it.
I’d assume so, that is if any lender would touch someone with multiple mortgages these days.
You could yes, it would then become and investment loan.I’m assuming you would buy this second house for a rental investment? If so then you can write this loan off at the end of the year against your taxable income, and this would make you a landlord.
