Hi All,
It seems like the economy might be heading into a recession at this point. I have an available line of credit on my home that has a variable interest rate. With market downturns, there is always huge opportunity to grow wealth. I'm currently evaluating the risk/benefits of cashing out my HELOC to have my money in cash and just paying interest so that I can jump on opportunities that arise within the next few months to 2 years.
I'm thinking about cashing out because if the market were to do a downturn, the banks can choose to halt HELOCS like they did during the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Even if HELCOS aren't holted, a market downturn would effect the equity in the home therefore causing HELOC to lessen in value if reevaluated by the bank.
Has anyone else considered this option?
