How difficult should it be to refinance one of my properties?

[Tyson Hosey]

I have a rental that was a live-in flip. I'm at 63% LTV between a first and a HELOC. Both the First and the HELOC are in my personal name since I lived there for 5 years before moving and renting it out. Now I want to refinance the HELOC so I can pull out the additional equity that has increased over the past few years since I opened it.

If I leave the First alone will it be impossible to refinance the HELOC and re-subordinate it? or will I have to refinance both 1st and 2nd? Any ideas?
