Tapping into Rental Property Equity without cash out refi

[Luke Henson]

I have an odd situation and I'm hoping someone may know of a solution.

I have a Townhome rental property that has FHA mortgage with a 2.625% rate and I was able to get the PMI removed through a fast track refi earlier this year. I have about 130k in equity in it that I'd like to tap into to help towards purchasing another property. I haven't had any luck finding lenders who will offer a HELOC on it as a rental property, and the solutions I keep being presented with are a cash out refinance options. However, if I do that, I certainly wouldn't be able to keep the 2.625% rate and my monthly expenses would go up quite a bit.

Anyone have any creative ways to reach that equity?

I have done the same thing, with the same purpose as my quest. 

I've gleaned these lenders from the kind people on BP. I have used PenFed and TD Bank for HELOCs on investment property. Post back if you find another lender who serves you well, and I will add them to my list and pay it forward. These were largely sourced pre-CV19, so eat the fish and spit out the bones.

The DTI percentage range varies by lender, and is less than what you will find for an owner occupied property, due to lender risk. While qualifying for a HELOC is dependent on your home equity and your credit score, good or excellent credit makes it easier to qualify. A good average to shoot for is 620 or higher. Plus, the better your credit score, the better your interest rate.
