Any Lenders for HELOC or HELOAN on Owner-Occupied Multi-Family?

[Taylor Pyburn]

Can anyone suggest any Lenders in the Middle, TN area, or National Lenders that will offer a HELOC or HELOAN on a owner-occupied Duplex?

I purchased this Duplex in East Nashville in 2020 for $280k, which initially appraised for $320k. I owe $250k on the property currently. 

We remodeled both units, one is 3/1 the other is 1/1. I currently occupy the 1/1 and rent the 3/1 to cover the mortgage. 

My current mortgage is through Mr.Cooper, which is evaluating the property around $475-500k. Looking at market trends this seems to be accurate. 

I have an excellent rate on this Mortgage, at 2.75% and would like to keep it the same without doing a Cash-out Refi and doubling this rate. 

Who should I reach out to and what should I have prepared to get a Line of Credit on this large amount of equity I'm sitting on? 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You currently have an excellent rate, and you're right that your rate would be about double if you did a traditional refi right now.
