HELOC in Georgia for SFR

[Mark B.]

Hello all

I purchased a single family rental property in Forest Park, GA 2 years ago with 20% down. Recently I've been looking around on the web and the approximate value of the home has increased by about 10K. With that in mind I am interested in opening a HELOC on that property. Does anyone in the Atlanta area or GA as a whole know of a local bank that works well with investors? Or a national bank for that matter? Reading through the forums it sounds like most banks will not go above 70 or 80% LTV for an investment property HELOC, but I'm curious if anyone has had a different experience? Any help/insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
