Tell me if this plan makes sense please!

Good morning all, I have found a property that I would like to purchase as a second rental property for me. I'm still new to this so please tell me if this makes sense. My Home: Purchased for 342k in Sept 2016, currently owe 316k on it. Interest rate 3.75% - Not touching this property for this deal. $2054 Mortgage Payment First rental property: Former personal residence. Purchased Jan 2012 for 195k, currently owe 161k. I have rented this property out for about 2.5 years. Home value today is approx. 250k. Loan rate 3.65% $1750 rent. $1294 Mortgage Payment. Still paying PMI on FHA loan. Potential Rental Property: Listed for 115k. Potential Rent in area is $1200-1400. Could safely get $1200. I registered a business with the state of Maryland for real estate rental business which is what I would use to purchase this property. I have approximately 22k in the bank and 45k in the stock market in highly volatile stocks. So the 45k could be way more or way less on a daily / weekly basis. With the business loan they want 25% down on a 5/1 ARM loan. What I was considering doing was doing a $39k cash out refi on my rental property to bring the mortgage back up to $200k similar to where I originally bought it. Get it appraised again for roughly $250k. This would give me the $28,750 I need for a down Payment on the new rental with $10,250 spare as reserves for 6+ months on the property and any light repair work that may be needed. It would also reduce my Loan to value on the 1st rental to 80% and eliminate my PMI on that one which would keep my mortgage payment about the same or maybe even a little less accounting for the higher interest rates now. Does this seem like a logical and proper way to secure the 2nd Mortgage? I'd like to not have to dip into my bank savings or stock market funds to keep them as emergency funds. This was my only solution I could come up with and it seems like a 2 birds 1 stone way to get the 2nd mortgage and eliminate PMI on the first rental. Thanks everyone!
