Seeking advice for using home equity to buy investments

[Mark Roberts]

I'm looking for some advice on how to best use the equity in my primary residence for investments.  Currently I have about $90K in equity on my primary residence and still owe $50K.  I purchased the house a little less than a year ago and have completely remodeled it so I think current value is around $225K.  I've never done a refinance before to pull money out but I'm thinking that might be an option.  I'm looking to get started in buy & hold investments and/or rehabs, any input on which way to go would be greatly appreciated!
