Need help with HELOC on rental property....can this be done?

[Account Closed]

Hello there, I am new here so I am hoping I found the correct forum in which to post. I am a rookie with only two rentals and I live in the Dallas area. I would like to do a HELOC on one of my rental properties because this is the ONLY property that currently has equity. I have called several banks (credit unions) and all of them have said they do not do HELOCs on an investment property---never heard of it. Does anyone know of any banks in my area who might be willing to work with us? If not, I can do national banks too. Is this even possible? Thanks!

Hey Joy,

It sure can. It may not be as easy as obtaining a HELOC on an owner occupied property, but many have done it. My advice would be to call around to some of your local banks and credit unions and ask them. You are bound to find someone who can offer it to you.

Good Luck!

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.

@Kerry Baird First Midwest is 75% LTV, 1st position lien only.

Might be helpful to note on your list whether it's 1st lien or 2nd lien position.  I would guess that 90% of the people asking for an investment property heloc are looking for 2nd lien position, while less than half your list likely allows a 2nd lien position heloc on an investment property.

But this is a great list, super helpful!
