@Joshua Poitras Where did you end up going for your HELOC?

Hi Dave,

I went to Triangle CU in Nashua NH. I did the 100% LTV on Personal Residence, however they do offer up to 80% LTV on Investment property. You'll want to speak to Christin Malloy in the commercial dept. Let me know if you need me to link you!
