What are my options...

Hello BP,

Need some clarity. I recently did a cash-out refi on my primary with the intent of using the funds to buy a second home with my partner and kids. We are currently renting and the original plan was to have my partner apply for a loan and her and I be on title since I already own a home and wouldn't qualify.

Our lease is up in May, however, we just found out that a family member might be moving in with us temporarily and she may need to extend the lease. This creates an issue b/c without her applying for a loan it leaves me searching for other alternatives. One of which i can use the funds to purchase an investment property/fixer upper,however, can I and my family live in it OR does it need to be renting out? Another option is to rent out my primary, but since i just refinanced I'm not sure if thats an option.

Anyone with ideas or thoughts on this especially legal advice would be much appreciated.

NOTE: The reason why I am not selling my primary (although have considered it) is due to some unexpected legal issues that i need to address. Furthermore, if i am able to rent it out it would more than cover all my mortgage expenses.

Thank you
Armand
