Also if you work with someone and you talk directly to them about being a partner or investor wit you, you are also fine.

I would recommend  getting the  refinance in process / approved   but  dont lock a rate  or  pay for an appraisal until you locate a new property you want to buy ...by doing this - you can  get the refi proceeds  quickly  when needed  in order to close  on the new  purchase wit cash
