Months ago, he asked me to find out what kind of rate I could get with my bank on a 30-year fixed mortgage, which was about 5.5%.

In addition previous owners will never give up their personal attachment to the home and will make for a very difficult landlord/tenant relationship.

In this scenario when you refinance do you go through the normal process of refinancing where a bank would look at your loan terms/house appraisal and decide if they want to take it on?

I've recently talked to about a dozen local banks and credit unions, and it was difficult to find one that offered a LOC on an investment property. 

Also what kind of financing would I be looking at from bank?

@Violet Minnella, I have not specifically used the program that you are talking about, but my experience is that they are only really good for insurance and banking and they are not nearly as competitive in those areas as they used to be.

You might not even qualify for 6% bank financing. 

I don't have very good credit, but recently I sold my house and have a little over 200k in the bank. 

I was a little worried that if I had a HELOC for the down payment then the banks or financial institutions would look at it as a loan on top of a loan.
