Rehab and Stay? Or Rent and Buy Another

Account Closed

I'm brand new to the game so all of this is new to me.  I'd greatly appreciate any advice.

Currently live in a 3/2 that I am 50% Joint Tenant in Common with a sibling. Getting ready to buy the sibling out by cash out refi and quit claim deed. I'm taking an additional $15k out to rehab the home (new windows, A/C, and a bathroom). My question is... Should I take out an additional $20k for a down payment on a rental property (SFH) or do I rent the house I'm in and go buy another house to live in with an FHA (3.5% dp).

Welcome all responses and reasons why.
