@David P.

Thanks David, please do let me know what you find out! What do you mean when you say "3 separate loans under one HELOC simultaneously"?

@Marcy Moyer @Robert DeForge @Mike Bargetto @Francois Acosta

I hope all of you can make it to the Meetup tonight at Tony and Alba's in Scotts Valley at 6:30pm! Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Real Estate is all about relationships... With that said, I like to use small local banks for as much of my real estate needs as I can. In this way, I can create direct relationships with lenders that work and live in my community. When I walk into a local bank they automatically know me and more often than not the person that takes my application and interviews me is the person, or one of the persons, that will be deciding whether not I get the loan. 

I say that cause if the loan products offered from both types of banks are similar I always go with the smaller bank and "bank" (forgive the pun) on the future relationship I am building. With national banks you are just a number and more often than not, not a very big number (at least in their calculation).

@Hashmat B.

I am assuming you are obtaining a HELOC on a primary residence? If so, those are pretty similar rates for what I am seeing here in the Bay Area.

Have you checked with any Credit Unions or local banks, sometimes you will have better luck with them than the larger commercial banks?

Bes of luck.

I am really sorry for all the confusion. 

I am not too sure what is going on. BP keeps removing my posts (twice now), I think people are not allowed to place links to meetups in the forums. Going to have to research why. 

If you search for "Santa Cruz County Real Estate Investors Meetup" on meetup.com in the Scotts Valley (95066) you will find all the information for the meetup and can RSVP there. See below for a quick snapshot:

I guess I posted the meetup in the wrong section of BP last night so it got removed. See the corrected post above for meetup details and links.
