when happens with a home equity loan after the bankruptcy? Does it get wiped off or does it stay with the property?

Probably, yes and yes. If the HEL plus the first mortgage are more than the value of the house, the payment obligation on the HEL should be wiped out, but the mortgage portion of the HEL stays with the property, and will have to be dealt with if you sell the property. Ask your attorney, to be sure.
