Investment Property Loan Approval

[Nick Foundas]

Happy 2015 BP, I plan to use funds from a Home Equity Line of Credit for an investment property.
I was wondering if I opened a Home Equity Line of Credit on my primary residence and it just sits there unused, would it hurt my chances of getting approved for an investment property loan from a local community bank? I assume it shouldnt factor into the loan decision or my debt to income ratio if I havent made any draws on the HELOC but figured I throw this out to the experts for advice!
