I am wondering if there is any difference between taking out a HELOC on an investment property versus a primary residence. I am interested in a HELOC for an investment property in Memphis, estimated value of $60k. I am wondering how much I could get on my HELOC - 70%? 80%? and at what the typical interest rate is currently. Also, I am assuming the interest on a HELOC is only tax deductible on a primary residence and would not apply to my case. Please confirm. Thanks for your time. by CelinaN from Memphis, Tennessee.

Very Difficult. You might find a Fixed Rate up to 60% Try a local bank
A fixed rate equity or purchase loan, up to 75% of appraisal value, will be easier to obtain than a HELOC. The interest payment deduction on an investment property is taken on Schedule E of IRS form 1040; it is taken on Schedule A for the primary residence.
You really need to talk to a Lender411 Loan officer about your situation. A Heloc on an investment property is the riskiest loan for investors which goes with having more strict guidelines.
It would be very difficult but would not be impossible. Most bank and lenders online have a minimum loan amount size, your best bet is to try to find a local retail bank.
