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.
Try local community bank or credit union for investment properties. PenFed, TD Bank and US Bank are my best general recommendations.
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.

@Gp G., I think it is just a line of credit unless you reside on the property. I have a line of credit secured by 2 rental units. It has been amazing for speeding up my acquisition of property. Instead of waiting for a bank to do an appraisal, then go before the loan board, then set up the paperwork to sign, I can just pay cash and buy right now, then go through the long drawn out loan process. I try to do a few updates then get financing. This results in often having a lot less money in your deal, without paying for mortgage insurance. Then get your loan and pay your line of credit back.
so far all banks I spoke says will do HELOC on primary home only. These banks say directly or indirectly say rental investment properties are risky for HELOC loans as tenant may not pay rent. Looks like lot of change in these bank rules recent times compared to old days where investors got lot of funds using HELOC on investment rental properties to do BRRRR strategy.
Have you considered taking a portfolio loan on your investment properties to access the equity, or are you only looking at the LOC route?
@Ryan Hehman who does portfolio loans? I have 6 properties I'd like to pull equity from.
Did any one did HELOC on investment rental properties. I have been trying for many months but no luck yet.
Check out PenFed and Quorum Federal Credit Union, they'll do HELOC on Rentals which is a very difficult product to find. Rates will of course be higher and rising as the Prime Rate Index rises (adjusts each time the FED announces the Fed Funds Rate is increasing or decreasing).

Kerry,
Thank you for very informative post. I am in Atlanta GA area. I spoke to suntrust now they merged with bb&t as truist. They said no heloc on investment rental properties. Spoke to few credit unitons got similar response. Trying for many months without any luck with this. Spoke to TD bank they are not yet serving in Atlanta GA area but service south carolina which is nearest branch to me. Hope i find some bank or some good lender for HELOC on investment rental properties.
No luck yet in Atlanta area.
Looks like next to impossible to get HELOC on investment rental properties post covid (as a real estate investor we tend to spend money on credit cards and credit score and debt to income impacted adding more challenges as well)
I’m right there with you.
Have a rental north of ATL.
I’ve owned it 20+ years. 15 of those it’s been a rental and I’ve had maybe three months total of no income from it.
I own it free and clear.
Conservative value is $160k and it keeps going up.
Been looking for a HELOC on it for about a year. Nobody will touch it. Not even for 50%!
But you can bet I’m going to go down the list of names provided above tomorrow!
