using a HELOC to purchase your next
[2]
investment property that's today's show
[4]
let's get to it
[7]
hey everyone I'm Clayton Morris longtime
[9]
real estate investor and welcome freedom
[11]
fighters to the investing in real estate
[13]
show thank you so much for finding the
[15]
show if you're new to the channel or if
[17]
you're a longtime listener you know the
[19]
drill this is the show where we focus on
[20]
helping you build passive income cash
[23]
flow and we do it on all sorts of
[25]
markets across the country from Michigan
[27]
down to Ohio to Indiana to Pennsylvania
[30]
to New Jersey it doesn't matter where
[32]
your investment properties are as long
[34]
as you're buying performing assets
[36]
assets that are cash flowing every month
[39]
that's how you build true financial
[41]
freedom so one of the ways that I've
[43]
purchased real estate over the years in
[45]
fact I think it's my number one way that
[47]
I've bought properties over the years is
[48]
using a HELOC it's a home equity line of
[52]
credit it's the line of credit that lets
[55]
you purchase properties based on the
[57]
equity in your own primary residence now
[61]
there's a difference between a HELOC and
[63]
a home equity loan so let's talk about
[66]
the differences here and you know again
[69]
I come back to this idea that I love
[71]
buying and using a HELOC because it's a
[73]
repetitive line of credit and that's
[75]
what a line of credit is you go to the
[77]
bank they look at the value of the home
[79]
you live in and they give you a line
[80]
alone is a separate thing they're
[83]
basically giving you a check they're
[85]
basically giving you a check and if they
[86]
say that the value of that home is worth
[89]
$80,000 they give you a check for
[91]
$80,000 and the clock starts on that
[94]
interest so now you're paying on that
[96]
interest like immediately and guess what
[98]
it's not rinse and repeatable meaning
[100]
they're just gonna cut you a check as a
[102]
loan and you don't get to go back to the
[105]
till over and over and over and over
[107]
again now that's the difference between
[108]
a loan and a home equity line of credit
[111]
the line you start with a zero balance
[113]
you start with a zero balance like a
[115]
credit card and you can fill it up right
[118]
pay it back down fill it up again and it
[121]
lasts for about ten years most banks
[124]
will give you a line of credit that
[125]
lasts about ten years you can then go
[128]
back to them after ten years
[129]
renegotiate it get a new line or even
[132]
during
[132]
the life of that line of credit you can
[134]
go back to them and renegotiate so what
[137]
is it based on well you know what I like
[140]
to say about the home you live in right
[142]
the home you live in is a liability
[145]
right it's not a performing asset
[147]
despite what people think it is not a
[150]
performing asset right the poor in the
[152]
middle class think that owning a home
[153]
that you live in is a performing asset
[156]
it's not it is a liability the other
[158]
night we were having dinner and my five
[160]
year old and my seven year old we were
[162]
playing a game I know you might think
[164]
well this is a boring game but well
[167]
instead of playing the superhero game
[168]
that my kids want to play all the time
[170]
where we come up with different
[171]
superhero stories I said we're gonna
[173]
play is it a performing asset or is it a
[176]
liability and I would throw out random
[178]
objects random things that could either
[181]
be a performing asset or liability for
[182]
instance a boat you know is that a
[185]
performing asset or is that a liability
[188]
my kids would say that's a liability and
[190]
I'd say why is that a liability and
[192]
they'd have to answer and really think
[194]
through you know a liability takes money
[197]
from you and does not put money in your
[199]
pocket a performing asset monthly puts
[201]
cash flow in your pocket you know
[204]
wealthy people look at their net worth
[206]
their net worth is based on performing
[209]
assets so when I threw them out the
[211]
question what about this house that we
[213]
live in you know we live in a large
[215]
house is this a performing asset or is
[217]
this a liability and the answer took
[220]
them a little while was it's a liability
[223]
and I said great why is the house we
[227]
live in a liability and they thought
[229]
about it and they realized that it costs
[231]
us a lot of money to live in this house
[233]
that every month were paying a mortgage
[235]
were paying electric bills were paying
[238]
heating bills were paying for fixes and
[240]
repairs it is a liability
[242]
and therefore it's not performing for us
[245]
no one is paying us to live in this
[247]
house but there is a way and it's the
[252]
HELOC strategy there is a way to kind of
[254]
transform and take that liability if you
[258]
have a home that you live in and start
[260]
to turn it into a vehicle to help you by
[264]
performing
[265]
that's okay I'm not saying turn it into
[267]
a performing asset like I don't want you
[268]
to rent out a room in your house that's
[270]
not what I'm asking you to do I'm saying
[273]
if you think about using this house as a
[275]
way to help you start acquiring
[277]
performing assets then we can be on the
[280]
same path so for round numbers let's
[283]
just say the house is worth five we we
[287]
bought it for five hundred thousand
[288]
dollars and we only owe $200,000
[292]
remaining on that house well now I go to
[295]
a local bank I say to them look I'd like
[297]
to get a home equity line of credit on
[299]
my house great they'll assess the
[301]
property and they'll see that you have
[305]
$300,000 of equity and they're gonna
[307]
give you about 80 percent of that 300
[310]
thousand right 80 percent alone to value
[312]
so they may give you or 75 percent it
[315]
depends on the bank so they're gonna
[317]
give you 80 percent now let's just say
[319]
again for round numbers you have two
[320]
hundred thousand to work with again my
[322]
math is off but you follow me I just
[324]
want to say for the home equity line of
[326]
credit the amount that the bank is
[327]
giving you is two hundred thousand
[329]
dollars they're saying the equity in
[331]
your home we're gonna place a second
[333]
mortgage on your home and here you go
[336]
here's a line of credit now you start
[337]
with a zero balance with your line of
[340]
credit and you don't pay anything until
[343]
you actually start running up that bill
[345]
that's different again than the loan
[348]
because the loan you're getting a check
[349]
you're just getting a check for $200,000
[352]
and that interest rate starts
[353]
immediately and now you don't get to
[356]
rinse and repeat you don't get to go
[357]
back to the drawing board and make that
[359]
money over again you've got to pay it
[361]
off and you're done so with the line of
[364]
credit we start with a zero balance and
[365]
remember the reason I love this is
[367]
because it's simple interest it's
[369]
different than amortized loans that you
[372]
have as your primary mortgage right so
[375]
you're amortized loan you're paying that
[377]
interest upfront if you've ever gotten
[379]
those coupons that you used to get when
[380]
you bought your first property I
[382]
remember the very first property I ever
[383]
purchased
[384]
they give me a binder and it had a whole
[386]
thing of coupons that I could rip out
[388]
and send in to the bank and for the
[390]
first seven years they showed that
[392]
ammeter ization scheduled I was paying
[393]
all interest for that first seven or
[395]
eight years of the loan
[397]
that's different than a home equity line
[399]
of credit because you're starting and
[401]
you're paying it like a credit card
[402]
every month and it doesn't accrue in the
[405]
same way that amortized interest does
[406]
and it amortize loan so you're you're
[410]
using two different financial vehicles
[412]
two different financial products in
[414]
order to make yourself wealthy and
[416]
increase your net worth now you may say
[419]
they're self why would you want to use
[420]
this strategy rather than cash well look
[423]
using the equity in your home you're
[425]
leveraging the bank is giving you money
[428]
to use right they're giving you your
[430]
otherwise this house is a liability so
[432]
if the bank is gonna give you money to
[434]
use in order to purchase real estate I
[437]
would much rather use that right yes you
[440]
can pay it back and you want to make
[441]
sure that your tenants are paying back
[443]
the loan so this is the beauty of this
[445]
strategy and again I have acquired more
[447]
rental properties using the HELOC than I
[450]
have any other form of wealth building
[452]
any other financial product private
[454]
money cash on hand I've used my own
[456]
HELOC in my own house to purchase
[459]
properties more than anything else now
[461]
you want to make sure though that your
[463]
leverage point is covered by your cash
[465]
flow so what do I mean well I'm not a
[469]
big fan I would not recommend taking
[471]
your HELOC and going out and doing a
[473]
flip right finding a house in your
[475]
backyard and spending nine months
[478]
rehabbing a house in order that you
[479]
cross your fingers and hope that you can
[481]
flip it to somebody right uh you know a
[484]
young a young family that wants to move
[486]
into it eight months after you've
[488]
renovated it that I would not recommend
[491]
I'm not I'm not a fan of the flipping
[493]
strategy I'm a fan of buying and hold I
[496]
want to hold forever right so when you
[498]
buy I want this you know I want your
[500]
tenant and the cash flow to make sure
[502]
that you're come more than covering the
[504]
amount you're paying back on your heal
[505]
Ock so again if you get a HELOC four
[508]
three three point nine nine percent
[511]
interest right or you know again round
[514]
number is nearly four percent interest
[516]
but your cash flowing like all the
[518]
properties I buy or between like nine
[520]
and twelve percent cash flow so that's a
[524]
nice spread right that's a nice spread
[526]
where I've got enough wiggle room that I
[528]
can cover my
[529]
as expenses and property management fees
[532]
and I still have cash coming in every
[534]
month enough that my tenant is paying
[536]
this loan for me does that make sense my
[539]
tenant is paying my HELOC back not me
[542]
the tenant the cash flow from that
[544]
property is what's covering my is what's
[547]
covering my expenses on this property
[549]
that's the beauty of this strategy and
[551]
that every month I'm increasing my
[554]
equity again into this property and then
[556]
I can go back to the local bank and I
[558]
can say look I now have these additional
[561]
assets I've increased the equity even in
[564]
my own home because you're still paying
[566]
your main mortgage don't forget right
[568]
you're increasing the equity in your own
[570]
home but you're still paying the primary
[572]
mortgage now I can increase that home
[574]
equity loan so we just did that on our
[576]
home in fact we had a lot of equity to
[578]
work with and we just kind of got lazy
[580]
about it and I said to my wife recently
[582]
I said hey let's call up our bank and
[585]
let's reposition our home equity line of
[587]
credit because we had a couple hundred
[589]
thousand to work with let's amp that
[591]
puppy up let's max it out and let's go
[593]
on a buying spree so my wife and I right
[596]
now are using our home equity line of
[597]
credit
[597]
we're buying properties in Ohio we're
[599]
buying properties in our Michigan market
[601]
we're doing all you know we're buying
[602]
we're just buying and we're using the
[604]
bank to do it I mean it's a no-brainer
[606]
so using the bank to add to my net worth
[610]
now how does this happen at closing so
[613]
you may be saying yourself okay I have a
[615]
home equity line of credit and I want to
[619]
found an investment property that I want
[621]
to buy I'm going to buy this house for
[622]
50,000 or I'm gonna buy this property
[624]
for 60,000 dollars it's gonna cash flow
[627]
you know $800 a month how do I closed on
[630]
it well it's just the same as if you're
[633]
paying cash for it
[634]
you're literally have a home equity line
[636]
with a check you would transfer that
[638]
money wire that money to the title
[640]
company on closing day and because
[643]
there's no mortgage involved meaning
[645]
you're not taking out a mortgage on the
[647]
investment property you are writing a
[649]
check from a mortgage you already have
[651]
in place
[652]
you already have the home equity line of
[654]
credit in place so you're just writing a
[656]
check you're transferring the money from
[658]
your bank to the title company at
[660]
closing and guess what now
[662]
you own this investment property free
[664]
and clear now yes your home equity line
[667]
of credit has gone up to 50,000 now
[669]
right it's increase up to 50,000 or
[671]
whatever purchase price on the property
[673]
60,000 now the rent starts paying it
[677]
back you know over and over and over
[680]
again before you know it that house is
[682]
paid off in three years so the bank
[684]
enabled you to build wealth on the backs
[687]
of their own money yes based on the
[690]
equity in your home but it's a killer
[692]
strategy and that's why I love it and so
[694]
really you get to have that credit card
[696]
you get to have those that checkbook
[698]
from your home equity line of credit
[699]
rinse and repeat and keep buying rental
[702]
properties with that money in another
[705]
video series we're going to talk about
[706]
the way in which the tax code and has
[710]
changed now because of the 2018 tax law
[712]
we're going to talk about the
[713]
differences there because there are some
[715]
significant changes so we'll dive into
[717]
some of the nitty-gritty on the taxes
[719]
around this type of mortgage because it
[721]
has changed it has shifted in fact
[723]
Natalie and I wrote a book on how to pay
[726]
off your primary mortgage using a HELOC
[728]
and most of the mechanics are still true
[730]
but we need to certainly update and
[733]
revise the edition to talk about the
[735]
changes in the tax code so that will be
[737]
another that will be another episode we
