I'm buying resale so it's either HELOC or cash. I could pay cash now, and apply for a HELOC later if needed. Or, I could get the HELOC now and hang on to the cash. I'll have about 5-6 mos of cash reserves if I use the cash. I wonder if it would be harder to get the HELOC (or SHELOC as my credit union calls it) after buying the DVC points with cash...
My credit union offers particularly low rates (2.25% or so) but requires the buyer to pay closing costs ($1500-2000). What closing costs have y'all been paying on your HELOCS/SHELOCS?
I didn't pay any costs, most that I have looked at had no costs.
You got a great rate but that was a lot of money down to get it.
In my case I'm buying resale, so financing through Disney is not an option. But I appreciate the input.
