HELOC approved then transfer to LLC?
Member since 2019 · 55 posts · 14 votes
Hello Fellow Investor, I have a rental property with some equity in it, can I get the HELOC from it approved then transfer it to the LLC? or transfer it to LLC then go do the HELOC? Any recommendation? Thanks
Not very many actually do write HELOCs on LLC properties. There may be more luck with a BLOC, or business line of credit. My list is for HELOCs on rental houses.
CMG Financial in Idaho will do 100% on owner occupied.
Try local community bank or credit union for investment properties. PenFed FCU, TD Bank and US Bank are my best recommendations.
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.
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.

I'm a novice property owner/investor, but if you get the LLC first, you're unlikely to find a traditional lender that will give you a HELOC (I've heard that smaller banks sometimes work with more experienced investors to provide HELOCS). They tend to offer them only for properties owned by people not businesses (if your business went bankrupt, they may take second seat to other debtors and they are "limited" in their ability to go after your personal property to recoup their losses). But, the simpler thing to do is call your potential lenders and ask them what they would offer you given these scenarios. Generally, those using the BRRRR method (and not using private money) would avoid putting the property in an LLC until they finished the rehab, rent, and refinance stages. Once the building is stable and secured with a long-term loan that allowed you to get your equity out as cash, only then would you prepare to put the property in an LLC (of course, even then, the bank might not be happy about you doing this while you still owe them, so you'd need to be cautious about the bank demanding full payment. But that seems rare).
I understand Quorum FCU will do HELOCs on properties held in an LLC. I have a long list of lenders that will write a HELOC on a single family rental house.

Hello Kerry, Can you share your list of lenders that do HELOC for properties hold on LLC?
Thanks
