Does anyone know if it is generally acceptable to a lending bank to use my (primary residence) HELOC as proof of cash reserves when applying for a rental property buy and hold conventional loan? 

By charging higher prices you may chase away some people who would have applied if it were not for the high app fee.

So now I'm in the process of applying some much needed TLC. 

I think it's against the nec code to have ungrounded 3 prong outlets and I'm wondering if that applies.

Additional taxes and fees apply.

@ANTHONY SPOLIZINO  You can apply in the same bank  they will offer what other bank will offer, definitely you can shop for interest rate and closing cost . 

I want to spend the next 8 months becoming as knowledgeable about the topic as possible, and apply to some commercial real estate companies before I return. 

I don't want to keep taking the hit to my credit score every time I apply so I decided to just wait it out until I know I can qualify.  

Carlos,How long has it been since you applied?

After touring the apartment, I immediately applied for the apartment.
