Not enough information, your local bank might be the best bet

Credit Unions and banks are your best bet when it comes to getting a HELOC. Your equity is not the issue, but each bank/credit union will have their own set of guidelines when it comes to BK13 seasoning. A co-signer most likely will not help, since they would be looking at your credit as well. A co-signer is best for income purposes, not for credit.

Much more info is needed to properly answer your question.. but with a 2% loan rate, it makes no sense to refinance.. your better off trying to get a 2nd or a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC).. the problem is that most lenders will not do a 2nd with a recent BK, Foreclosure or Short Sale.. so you need to shop your local banks and credit unions..
