Wells Fargo was the only one who was willing to lend on it, and they came back the following week and said they just had an update to their lending standards and that they were no longer lending on any investment properties (which makes no sense to me). 

I called a few people so far but they seemed to say the standard was that once it is an investment, they won't give a HELOC.

A good habit for any investor is to ask questions until you find an answer that helps further your goals.Simply because 1 or 2 "standard" mortgage companies said "this is the industry standard" doesn't mean that someone out there won't have a loan for this guy.
