Heloc approach to out of state property

[Lester Walkowicz]

I have a property that has about 150k in equity.  I just moved down to Wake Forest, NC and the property that i own is in NJ.  

Do i need to approach a bank or lending institution here in NC or does it have to be back in NJ.  Or does it even matter?

If so does anyone have a recommendation for a local lender that offers good ltv and rates on helocs in the Wake Forest/Raleigh area?

Appreciate in advance.
