Best Bank for HELOC?

[Cody Dupuie]

I am trying to get a HELOC on my primary residence to buy my first investment property. I have spoke with both Flagstar bank and a local credit union and both informed me that the funds could not be used to purchase realestate. Any recommendations on how I should proceed? Would rather do a HELOC than a cash out refinance if possible.

I've had success with TD bank.  Give them a try.
