My other option is simply getting a full time job during my last 2 years of college, either at a bank or a similar institution.

Often these institutions will offer a month long class at night or weekends in topics of interest to the local community. 

Hey BP Community, I'm wondering if there are advantages/disadvantages from getting a HELOC from a local bank or a mortgage company.  Will either have a greater likelihood of offering a higher credit line? I'm planning...

If you do otherwise, you are lying to a financial institution, a serious federal offense.If the loan is not backed by the fed, you can do whatever you and the bank agree to. 

Hello Everyone,I purchased my NACA home more than 5 years ago, and I obtained a HELOC on my home last year.The financial institution that approved and funded my HELOC was fully aware of the NACA Lien on my home and continued with the process either way.Also, I am not in violation of the occupancy requirements.What would NACA's actions be?

Yes, you have to hang your license with an institution because it pragmatically isn't economical to run your own independent shop these days.You're still often brokering or correspondent lending, though, if you work for a mortgage bank or mortgage company (eg, not a "bank" bank, where you can have a checking account).

All of these things on an institutional level are much more trackable and transparent.However, in the small stuff - who the hell knows.

Big enough to be worth the squeeze, but smaller than most institutional + no anchor.I am a CRE lawyer for those types of deals, we help with PSA, NNN leasing, etc.

It’s good to get involved with the neighbors and neighboring institutions as well.  

Hello AllAnyone know of a bank, credit union and or lending institution that will provide a HELOC on an investment property in VA?
