Lender who will do a HELOC on investment property in Mass?

Lender who will do a HELOC on investment property in Mass?

Developer · Boston, MA · Member since 2016 · 76 posts · 31 votes

Hey everyone, 

I've got an investment property (a three family) under contract in the Boston area, and would like to use a lender who can offer me both a conventional mortgage as well as a HELOC from day one. I'm planning to put down about 30% of the purchase price as a down payment. So far I'm striking out when it comes to lenders who will offer a HELOC on an investment property in the area. Does anyone know a lender who will offer this? Thank you in advance.

I'm updating this list frequently, as I added 2 new HELOC lenders today, and others are removed as they won't do them on investment properties any longer. There are a few in your area on my list. ~Kerry


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 have a heloc on a 4 family through Lowell 5 bank. It's not considered a HELOC though, but a business line of credit since it's a rental property. Lowell 5 is a great bank to work with.

    The one caveat with PenFed is they cap you out and will not move forward if you already own 4 properties or more...

    I am looking for anybody who has gone through this process for Boston and completed it.

    There are a few community banks who will do it and a few local credit unions. My issue is I no longer live in the Boston area - the national ones who will do it (WF) are at 60% of LTV.

    I am looking for any and all ideas!

    @Matthew Mueller I'm currently doing some rehab on the property I acquired. Will likely be going through the refi process or HELOC process at the end of the year once tenants are situated and established. Haven't fully decided on one yet, but once I find a bank that meets my needs I'll let you know.

    @Ryan Wittig what was the best LTV you got?

  • Real Estate Investor · Boston, MA · Member since 2017 · 38 posts · 28 votes

    @Nick Bennett I believe it was 75-80%. Don't recall exactly, but probably 75%.

    Hey Matthew, did you ever find a HELOC lender for an investment property in Mass? I've called about 10 today but still haven't found one. Lowell 5 will, but they require a first lien position, so it's really a refinance more than a HELOC at that point.

    Try penfed credit union. One of our investor was able to do up to 80% LTV for a flip off an investment property.

    Try Rockland Trust (a MA bank).
    They were able to do one for an investment property (note: property was in personal name, not LLC).
    Did this about 1.5 years ago.

    Hi Dave,

    I went to Triangle CU in Nashua NH. I did the 100% LTV on Personal Residence, however they do offer up to 80% LTV on Investment property. You'll want to speak to Christin Malloy in the commercial dept. Let me know if you need me to link you!
