If I remember correctly China lake is out your way...I assume you are or were in the Navy?  

Heard Navy Federal Credit Union offers some products that may fit your needs.I have not used them, but an associate did and got very favorable terms.

So I did some calling around today and was able to get in contact with penfed. they confirmed they could do a HELOC based on my investment property. they will give me 80% LTV with 12 yrs to pay it off. another friend of mine was looking as well and he was able to talk to Navy federal credit union and they told him they could do a HELOC as well on his investment property but it had to be a SFR and not a multi-family.just wanted to post an update on what I found for anyone else who may be looking.

I'm active duty Navy andI'm stationed here on an aircraft carrier.

I'm active duty Navy right now and one of my major goals is to become financially independent by the time I am a civilian again.

@Ned Carey, @Russell Brazil,  @Ian Smith, @Dan Bernstein, @Mike Cumbie, @Sonya Stovall - Thank you all for your responses and pointers.

I'm new to the NOLA area (in the Navy and now stationed here) and agree finding the right valuations in this market is tough confirming it's a little saturated. 

Currently I am in Florida getting trained to be a navy pilot.

I believe Navy is similar. 

I am active duty Navy, owner of a profitable local brick and mortar business, as well as a Licensed Home Improvement Contractor in Connecticut.
