@Joseph Lombard The HELOC is best described as personal short term financing.

Just as a reminder in addition to the interest rate, amortization schedule and fixed period of the loan, inquire about: 1) Prepayment Penalties (In case you want to refinance in a few years), 2) Possibility of Rehab Funding, 3) Reserve Requirements, 4) Personal Guarantees, 4) Rate Adjustments (i.e. at the 5 year mark) to understand other variables in the loan product that works best for your project.

I have good personal credit (~730-740), average-high personal debt (mortgage, student loans, vehicles,) and I am employed making $90k/year.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!
