What bank did you use for HELOC? are you using yours? [TX]
so I just got my HELOC secured here in Austin on my primary home through BBT. Man, it was a PITA and took a lot of time. It seems that TX lending laws make the process much more difficult than my friends in other states. Anyway, does anyway else use a HELOC here? I'm interested to see how I utilize this.

I used Pentagon Federal and it took about 3 weeks. Also they do HELOCs on investment properties too.
