Transfer appraisal?

Hi Donareas5304,VA offers a 100% cash-out refi option as well but to answer your question, no, you typically cannot use a VA appraisal for a HELOC. The bank doing the HELOC will want their own appraisal done.

Though I know many banks accepted recent appraisal for a first mortgage loan for a heloc, when all of us in lending use to do a lot of helocs, I recommend you call some big banks and credit unions to find out if they will accept it. If you gota 100% VA loan you would need an appraisal anyway because most lenders wantto see you possessed sufficient equity in the home at the time of the purchase or refinance.

It's unlikely you would qualify for a HELOC if you just closed on your VA loan.. VA is 100% financing and HELOC's are usually limited to 80% loan to value. you would need to owe less than 80% of what you borrowed to qualify.. and it's very unlikely they (the HELOC lender) would accept your appraisal.. they will always order their own.

The answer is probably, but it is up to the lender you get the home equity loan from.
