HELOC on an investment property?

HELOC on an investment property?

Member since 2019 · 3 posts · 2 votes

So I have been getting "outbid" in this market as I am sure a lot have, but what I'm finding is perhaps it's not as much about being outbid as it's being outdone by cash buyers.

This leads me to my next question, I have checked around many places and haven't found any place that will do a HELOC on an investment property, we have about 400k in equity in one of our investment properties and would love to do a HELOC on that property to be able to put in cash offers and then refinance the new property within a year to pay off the HELOC.

I would prefer not to refinance, does anyone have any insight on who if anybody would do a HELOC on an investment property?

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.

    That is excellent information, I appreciate it, I will be calling around Monday morning and will update with what I find. I have tried PenFed before and was turned away due to too many financed properties.

    You might see if you can get a business line of credit secured by the property. That’s what I do on one of my trailer parks. Basically works same as a heloc for buying more properties. If your current mortgage holder will do it they can remain in first position.

    If you DO use a HELOC make sure the numbers still work with longer term debt when you refi out (rates are going up). If not, you'll have your the equity in that HELOC tied up and just treading water or you'll have to be disciplined over time to chip away at it.

    PenFed and TD Bank will do HELOCs on investment properties if they are held in your name, not an LLC. Both have some restrictions.
    PenFed will only give it to people who have 3 or less properties in their name regardless if they are paid off or not. They are 80% LTV and 50% DTI. 
    TD restricts you to 3 mortgages in your name. You can own more, but they have to be free and clear. 75% LTV and 43% DTI PenFed

    Matt talks real fast.  So don't hesitate to tell him to slow down  

    Good luck
