Great advice in here. DEFINITELY go with a Line of Credit(HELOC) instead of a fixed loan. One point I didn't see mentioned is that with a HELOC you are only obligated to pay the interest each month but are allowed to pay as much as you desire on the principal.
I keep a Line of credit against one of my rental properties available so I always have funds available. I just have to renew it yearly but doesn't require any appraisal. I personally won't borrow money against my Home residence. I got it paid off last year and now nobody can take it away if for some reason I was to lose everything else.
