Brief update. Wells Fargo called back today and said they require a 750 for second home and a 640 for primary residence. Wow ! Any more suggestions?

Since we couldn't find a bank to lend in our situation, he's helping us. He's been acquiring new connections with lenders that will do HELOC or refinance on investment properties and working to find us a lender.

 Wow! That's extremely nice of him. I hope it goes well and hope to hear about it !

@Justin Lee I'm working on trying to get a HELOC on one of my properties now and it's been difficult. We tried calling around, but many lenders don't want to give HELOCS on investment properties or the ones that do want seasoning of at least 6 months, some even 12 months. Using our mortgage broker has been the best option for us in this situation. If you've had the property for a while, it'll be easier than it's been for us!

 Hey,

What are you using the mortgage broker to do? Did you cash out refinance?

 I called them apparently they don't service New Orleans?

@Greg Jeanfreau got it. This is actually what drew me to the the HELOC. The outrageous hard money fees and the origination fees. I'm shopping for the best rate . I'll give all the suggestions a call tomorrow and see what I can come up with. Navy federal approved me initially , but denied me and said they couldn't because it's a duplex and second home , which limits my opportunities in a way.
