The credit unions I have talked to have told me they need 6-12 months of rental history before they will approve a HELOC on our rental house located in southern Utah.

I have 6k saved in my house fund and got my house appraised for higher and got approved for a heloc of 45k.

This has been approved by the council etc, and I now have a class C quote of around $300k for the new build, including 10k for the foundation work.I estimate I will be able to rent this two bedroom standalone for around $1800-$2000 per month.I need to write a business case to present to the bank to get financing and so I need to figure out ROI etc.This is in a very desirable town with 0% vacancy.Any advice on how to get the refinance and what to include in my proposal to the bank?

It is almost a requirement in this market to offer a high DD, so it’s important that you know the status of your ability to close a loan - get pre-approved not just pre-qualified.
