Obtaining a HeLoc on a CT rental

[Benjamin Dilg]

Hey BiggerPockets family,

I have a rental property in CT and am looking for a lender to take a HeLoc out on the property. I've called over 40 lenders in the area and still cant seem to find one which will even consider a HeLoc on a rental. They all state that they only give HeLocs on a primary residence. 

Does anyone have experience getting a HeLoc on a rental in CT? Or has anyone figured out a way to demonstrate your rental as your primary residence through some sort of loophole?(I'd imagine this to be risky and time consuming)

FYI: I am out of state but do have properties I can potentially list as a primary residence in CT other than my rental. 

Any information helps and I appreciate your time and consideration!

Cheers!
