We own our house fully No mortgage value approx $550k. We are thinking that we like to retire early to near the beach. Currently we found nice homes with land in that area for $175k. Is it better to get a home equity for the full cost of the Beach home plus any other small debit (approx $75k 2 cars and a timeshare) or continue to pay on the individual debits and add a Mortgage for the Beach house?
The ultimate goal would be to get settled into the 2nd home and then sell the current home pay off the balance and then put the rest in an investment with monthly dividends to use as retirement income until we reach retirement age and also maybe get a parttime job.

      I would suggest a 1st mortgage. You wouldn’t want to risk your first home if you finances had a drastic change.

      I am a mtg broker. I would do a fixed HELOC and combine all your debt into it. If you pay all your debt separate, you are paying interest on the cars, credit cards, etc which are NOT tax deductible. Your mtg debt is.

      Congrats on having your home free and clear!
