Many loose their home because they can't truly afford the mortgage note on a hard money lender.If you would be in a position to refinance your home within 3 month from a hard money lender - then I say you have an option.Rest assured that if you miss a payment they are not as cooperative as a conventional lender - 25% of equity in it - and an investor mentality...lol you better suck salt to make those payments LOL.

But you can always refinance if rates go down with a fixed rate loan.

Your best bet with this is to get ahold of the county tax property tax records department and simply ask them.

Then go back and re-finance the old house as non-owner occupied to obtain a higher LTV.
