"diversifying your portfolio" - I like it!

Chris - I hear you loud and clear. That is definitely one of my concerns.

My price would be about $5-10K below what I feel is the high end market value for it today. So if I had to sell it, I'm fairly confident I could get all or at least most of it back even in a quick sell. The goal would be to never sell and pass it on to my son one day (he's now all of 14 months).

If I bought it using the HELOC, and considering the recent decline in housing prices around here, I would still be at about 70% loan to value on the house when combining the 1st with the HELOC.
