Looking for lender for HELOC on my primary residence in California

Looking for lender for HELOC on my primary residence in California

Los Angeles, CA · Member since 2017 · 12 posts · 5 votes

Hello everyone. My primary residence is in California, and I own it free and clear. It should appraise for about 2 million dollars. I'm looking to do a HELOC for $1 million dollars on my primary residence. I've called credit unions and banks. Their max for the HELOC is $500,000 and it will be based on my income. My FICO score is above 800. Does anyone know of any lender that would do a HELOC for up to $1 million dollars on a primary residence and based on the equity alone and NOT based on income? Thanks.

Assuming you are pulling money out of your primary residence to invest in real estate, have you considered just cross collateralizing your equity?

     Hello Richard, 

    HELOCs and HELOANs are full doc conventional loans and require your personal income to qualify. 

    You may do a DSCR or Bridge Loan to cash out on your equity without using personal tax returns to qualify.

    Thanks Erik for your response.

    So the question now would be:  Does anyone know which lenders would do DSCR or Bridge Loan up to $1 million, based on my primary residence's equity and not personal income?  Thanks.
