HELOC - harmful to debt to income ratio?

[Tristan Rynning]

BP- I️ am opening another HELOC on a property this week and was wondering if the loan brokers out there can help me understand exactly how this is effectively counted “against” me in acquiring a new loan for the next property. - Does the entire payment count against my Debt to income ratio? Even if I️ am not using all or even part of the line? - How can I️ maintain the most favorable position for a property loan in the future but continue to utilize equity ? Thanks all!
