Suggestions for HELOC

[Tim Nethers]

My wife and I purchased our home in Florida for $430k last year, we put $120k into renovating the entire house. I'd like to get a HELOC that would allow me to pull out cash when a great deal comes up. Couple of questions, is it best to find a local lender or is there a preferred lender nationwide? Any feedback on the various HELOC programs? My goal is to buy and hold additional cash flow out of state multifamily.
