Quickest home equity loan?

[Dave Brooks]

I am financing a foreclosure. However I am thinking of possibly getting a home equity on my current house in case there are issues with the financing. My question - does anyone know any places go get a fast home equity loan? My bank says 8-10 weeks. Is that a lot higher than average? I might need more like 2-3 weeks. I am in Maryland. I'm not sure if the rules allow recommend specific lenders, if it's not allowed just some general advise would be great!
