HELOC Leverage on LETF Advice

I’ve been lurking in this sub for a few days now, reading a bit on strategies and such but a bit uncertain for my scenario on what would be best.

I’m planning to take out ~400k as a HELOC term portion against real estate equity, and able to get this at about 3.6% plus in Canada can get a tax break if the loan is used for income generation so it basically halves the monthly interest cost.

I can cover the interest payments required fairly easily, and have no issues with holding long term with severe drawdowns.

However, it’s quite a large sum. Would you lump sum it in the current market, or DCA? If DCA, how would you do it? Since it’s leverage on leverage, I was thinking more along lines of a 2x S&P or NASDAQ as opposed to 3x just to be on the safe side.

Another issue is if I do a longer term DCA, I cannot get the tax deduction if the amount isn’t invested for income generation so I might have to park it somewhere and slowly DCA meaning I’d trigger capital gains/losses when shifting allocation.

Also curious what strategy (sma/sig) y’all would recommend, open to ideas

Ty!
