Does anyone have any recommendations on a lender that will do a HELOC on a rental property? I have a property I own outright in the Cleveland, OH area and would like to set up a HELOC on. I've called several banks and came up empty handed. Local or national, it makes no difference to me. I'll keep calling around, but I thought I'd post here to see if anyone has any suggestions.

I've gleaned these lenders from the kind people on BP who have posted their experiences. 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. I cannot confirm that any bank is lending during the COVID-19 outbreak.

I have multiple mortgages through Huntington Bank. I don't have a HELOC on any of my rentals, but an employee previously told me that they offer HELOCs on rentals. The interest will be higher than a HELOC on an owner occupied residence.

I have heloc through huntington on my peronsal home but when speaking with them about financing investment properties, they typically tell me they do not like to fund investment properties. They might have a different view of helocs for them.

Thanks, I'll give them a call. I bank with Chase and applied through them. In talking to them they said they don't typically do HELOCs on investments but they would send it for review and see if it would be approved.

Huntington did one for me but watch out for appraisal values. I would suggest having a private appraisal done first. I lost about 45k in value on the appraisal.
3rd federal savings and loan might do it they are based in OH however I think they want to be first loan holder so it would need to be paid paid off free and clear also I was told they have a heloc that they will pay a portion or all of the closeing cost I used them on my prime residence vary good rates however the rep I worked with was very vary slow with responding and pushing things along good luck I will be doing this same thing on 2 rentals soon so be sure and post what you figured out thanks

John, I called 3rd Federal a little over a month ago and got a flat out no. I don't have a mortgage with them currently, and given the times they may be more cautious than typical. I just closed on another house and secured a loan on it, so didn't push too hard on the HELOC other than calling about 10 banks. I plan to do another round of calling banks soon to try to secure the HELOC. I'll make sure 3rd Federal is on the list. Maybe I'll talk to a different person who knows the policy better or can explain if there are any special circumstances. I'm going to make it clear that I own the home outright and see if there is any LTV that they would consider. Even if I can take out half of the value, I can do a lot with $110,000 in the area.
Thanks for the feed back Jake I have a HELOC with them however it is with my primary residence and I onley took about 1/3 of what it was worth so i could understand what i can and cant do with HELOC now I'm kicking myself wish i got the wole 80% but I wanted to test it out first I will have 2 houses paid off and 1 duplex I am paying on in 2 years I want to see if I can group those 2 rentals and get 80% of those and buy 3 more keep us updated and GOOD luck

@Jake Simon Did you ever find a bank in Ohio that would provide a HELOC on an investment property? On a similar search now for our Columbus, OH, and have been using BP threads as resources but most are rated poorly to start. Thanks!

I was never able to find a bank to do a HELOC on an investment property.
