Investor equity line
Investor home equity line options

What is an investor equity line?
Investor equity lines are typically second-lien revolving products secured by investment real estate. They differ from DSCR purchase loans, which fund acquisitions directly—equity lines unlock value in assets you already own.
Line size, index, margin, draw period, and repayment terms vary by lender, property type, and combined loan-to-value—subject to approval.
When an investor equity line may help
- Investors with idle equity in stabilized rentals
- Portfolio owners who want dry powder for opportunities
- Landlords avoiding first-mortgage refinance
- Active acquirers needing flexible capital between closings

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about HELOC and home equity options—primary residences, rentals, and second homes.
Can I get a HELOC on a rental property?
Yes—revolving HELOC programs on non-owner-occupied rental collateral may be available for qualifying investors, subject to approval, property type, equity, credit, and state-specific lender guidelines. Rental HELOCs are underwritten differently than primary-residence lines.
What is the best way to access home equity?
The best path depends on how you use the property (primary, second home, or rental), your existing mortgage rate, and whether you need revolving or lump-sum access. A HELOC review compares options that may fit your scenario—subject to approval—not a one-size recommendation.
How much equity do I need for a HELOC?
Combined loan-to-value (CLTV) limits vary by occupancy, property type, credit, and program. Many files require meaningful equity after existing liens—often leaving 10–20% or more equity in the property, but limits are lender-specific and subject to approval.
Is an investor equity line the same as a HELOC?
Colloquially, investors often use the terms interchangeably for revolving second-lien lines on investment property. Product names and guidelines vary by lender.
