Rental in helping or hurting me on the HELOC?
I am having trouble getting the full value of my primary due to DTI limitations. How tight/loose are underwriting standards from bank to bank? Is it normal for a lender to assume a 25% vacancy factor when it comes to rental income for a HELOC? Or is that a limitation due to the investment properties being new? Or is that standard across the industry at the moment?
