I'm looking for a HELOC, at least 80% LTV, with good rates (obviously).  

You will have better luck obtaining a HELOC.

I conduct a title search to find a possible lien from B of A for a HELOC.

The other day we met with the bank to figure out the loan situation since we don't have the capital just yet and obviously the bank was pushing for a HELOC because it's less risky for them; however we don't have the equity for that and none of our family members are willing to do that for us. 

I have many different area's where we initially get the money from: Personal Lines of Credit, Credit Cards, Private Funding, Unsecured Lines of Credit, HELOCs.

It'd probably be a percentage point higher than traditional HELOC, somewhere between 5.5 and 6.5%. 

Hello everyone, I'm trying to figure out the financials of having an investor help pay for my downpayment on a rental property, or possibly using a HELOC for the downpayment.

Yes, my mortgage is with Wells Fargo, and they said they would give me an ELOC (not a HELOC, since I don't live in it) where the rates would be about 1% higher than traditional HELOC since I don't live in the property anymore. 

I think HELOCs don't have that same restriction, or do they?

HELOC?
