Rental Property Investor · League City, TX · Member since 2017 · 40 posts · 10 votesI am trying to see if it is possible for to use HELOC on one of my investment properties.
Any advise or best practices would be greatly appreciated.
@Sam Horton and @Mark Sheppard
Try local community bank or credit union for investment properties. PenFed FCU, TD Bank and US Bank are my best recommendations.
I've gleaned these lenders from the kind people on BP. I have used PenFed and TD Bank for HELOCs on investment property. Post back if you find another lender who serves you well, and I will add them to my list and pay it forward. These were largely sourced pre-CV19, so eat the fish and spit out the bones.
The DTI percentage range varies by lender, and is less than what you will find for an owner occupied property, due to lender risk. While qualifying for a HELOC is dependent on your home equity and your credit score, good or excellent credit makes it easier to qualify. A good average to shoot for is 620 or higher. Plus, the better your credit score, the better your interest rate.

I'd try and call as many local credit unions as you can. Most banks around me will not do a HELOC on an investment property unless you reside in the property. I have only found one credit union that would consider it. After speaking with well over 30 different lenders. Good Luck
