It's definitely happening with other transactions. Ask your attorney to review the contract because he might be able to find the right clause to argue on this. These are uncharted waters so no one really knows how it will play out in litigation.

Hello and welcome @Paul Chae!
I agree with what Abel has posted and you should definitely link up with agents to help you better understand the products and costs associated with the markets you are interested in investing.

Thank you Larry and Andres for your responses.
Sorry for the late reply, but I've been busy with work. I wanted to clarify that the loan I am applying for is a Home equity loan, not a HELOC. Also, the reason I ran up so much debt is the renovation of the 2nd floor apt, with no rental income for 1.5 years. It took that long due to it being a much larger job than we thought (lots of surprises) not having the money up front and paying for it from my income. Next time I get a loan prior to starting.
I will be contacting you Andres via PM very soon.
I chose a Home equity loan instead of a HELOC so that:
1) If the economy suddenly tanks they cant just cut the line of credit so my plans don't become affected.
2) The interest rate is fixed.
Are there any reasons I should consider a HELOC over a home equity loan?
Thanks, Sheila G
Solid logic, I just ran it by my mortgage broker to verify. Looking forward to the PM.
