Can I refinance after pulling equity

[Kevin Franklin]

I'm interested in taking out a home equity loan to invest in a property as a private lender. However, I am also about to start the the refi process on my house but don't want to miss this grand opportunity. Will the home equity loan act as a lien, preventing me from doing the refi? I know the lender would be my best bet for this question but wanted to hear thoughts from the crowd. Thanks in advance!
