Is this heloc straight?
I am new to helocs. Taking out a heloc on my primary, no mortgage note. Comps in my neighbor peg house value at $348K. If a bank does 80% but is availing a $220k line. Am I on the loss for something here? Why won't they offer a $278K or close? Why are they putting my primary value at $275K (80%=$220K.) Is this is standard bank practice or is the bank trying to protect themselves/hedge against future home value softening? Am I missing something, is this putting a risk on the house? Should consider this heloc with such a gap or is that enough for a hard pass?
P/S
I reached out to them about this but haven't heard back. WIll follow up on Monday.
