OT: HELOC

[SyonaraStanz]

Any recommendations for a low cost HELOC?

I know when I did mine, it cost me nothing to originate, I just had to open a checking account with them that they could draft the minimum interest monthly for times that i had a balance. I typically kept some small amount in the checking account to keep it open and then I let it pay on the balance while I paid down principle quarterly. I did mine with Citizen's National Bank out of Meridian because I knew one of their business bankers and it was super easy. I started thinking I'd do it with my then regular bank (BankPlus) and when I inquired they sent me out of the branch with more paperwork than I could carry and I had a relationship with them already. I tossed that paperwork in their outside garbage can and called my friend at CNB.

check the credit unions. I got double what Trustmark offered.

Got mine through First South Financial, took 1 week no closing costs, 0% interest for first 6 months very easy to deal with.

Credit Unions...even if the rate is not better, the origination and closing costs are typically way less.
