Which Banks/ Credit Unions will do a HELOC on investment property

Michelle F.
Posted

Hello,

Does anyone know any banks / credit unions that are doing HELOC / equity line of credit on investment properties?

I know First Tech and PenFed are, but they both have a limit of 4 financed investment properties, and I am just over that. I am not eligible for Navy Fed.

I've been researching and have called several other banks, but they all say that aren't doing HELOCs on investment properties.

Property is in Georgia. 

Any banks / credit unions I should try?

@Michelle F. you probably need a local portfolio lender and you probably need to go to a commercial loan structure.  Any investor friendly agent in your area should have a few 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 all sourced pre-CV19, so eat the fish and spit out the bones.  It doesn't hurt to call.

Wisdom from Ann Bellamy:

I also never keep much cash in a bank account in the same bank where I have any mortgage. For example, I have a mortgage and operating account at Bank X for one of my businesses. I pull out most of the surplus cash from the operating account and put it in an account owned by the same company but in Bank Y. That way I get to determine how it's used, not the bank.

@Justin Famulari, who do you recommend? Did you just shop for rates or also TCV? 

Seems to me the key variables are: rate, TCV, draw period, origination/application/loan fees. Also, I hear some charge transaction fees,.

My properties are in PA and FL.

Hi Kerry, Thank you so much for the HELOC list. My rental properties are in NY but I live in AZ. Thus I have a hard time to find HELOC banks willing to work with rental properties. I used your list and found Penfed for this HELOC with an initial rate of 4.75%. I have used TD bank before for rentals. But they recently told me that they will not loan HELOC to rental properties. Again, thank you!

I have been trying to get a heloc on an investment home. They are asking for a transfer fee at closing. What is this fee, never heard about it before.

Thanks much

    I will add some data points based on my research.

    BMO harris in IL only allows for you to own 2 investment properties after that you are no longer eligible for Heloc. 

    Figure will do Heloc style loan product up 70 LTV on single family NOO. Not on duplex/triplex or 4plex.

    First Tech Federal. OR and other Western states. Up to 80% if FICO is over 780, no appraisal under $250k value.  Max allowed financed properties is up to 3 before you are disqualified for heloc on NOO. 

    Americas Credit Union currently does heloc NOO up 70 ltv max allowed financed properties is 6. Payment is 1% of balance.

    Thanks for this thread! Just called PenFed and they no longer offer HELOCs on investment properties. Saw Figure.com was recommended on a few places including here so I checked them out and got pre-approved within minutes. Thanks!
