i have a 1st and 2nd mortgage on my home but i have enough equity to purchase or place a down payment on a second home. i’m looking at refi the 2nd mortgage for a line of credit but i’m being told that is not a good idea because if something goes wrong with the second home i could lose my primary home. am i better off getting a separate loan for the investment property?
