primary residence vs investment property refinance Q...
Hello everyone,
I have a duplex in LA country that I purchased with a BOA loan as a primary residence. After an extensive remodel I realized I could rent the unit I was in for more than I would pay to rent a unit for myself in another part of town and moved out. Given the rate environment (I am at 4.25% for 30 yr fixed jumbo $695k remaining with estimated house value around $1.15m) I am interested in in doing a cash out refinance.
My question is if I should move back in (the upstairs unit is opening soon) to be able to get a residential rate as I am unsure what the rate would be as a loan for an investment property.
Still very new to all of this and apologies for missing any obvious answers here. Any and all help is appreciated!
Best,
~Michael
