my condolences on your recent lost.there are a few ways you can do this, as mentioned above you can take a heloc on your primary residence which will give you a second mortgage, first mortgage payment wont be impacted. you can do cash out refinance which will give you one mortgage and payment. it will pay the old mortgage and give you money in your pocket to pay for the rehab.or you can do a renovation refinance which is similar to cash out refinance but we would contractor involved  as part of the refinancing and they are paid through the loan

@Heather Bailey When house hacking with a separate rental unit, ensure proper insurance by obtaining landlord or short-term rental coverage tailored for Airbnb activities, in addition to your primary residence policy.

Quote from @Jacob Dalton: I purchased a single family home good quality location in Chicago’s Northwest Suburbs in Cook County as a personal residence.

This is an investment property of the seller, not their primary residence.

My primary residence is an apartment I rent in Brooklyn NY.

It's a quirk that very few areas of the country have.Both the city and county have their own areas that have Section 8 residents, but the Housing Authorities that handle the programs are different. 

I was a southern CT resident for 15 years and own a rental property in Trumbull CT as well.
