What to do with my primary?

I’m looking for advice on what I should do with my current house. I’ve lived in it for three years and want to refinance and use that money on a cash out to use towards starting my real estate investing.

My question is should I remodel my house before refinancing to try and get as much equity as possible or should I just save that money and just take what I can get from refinancing without doing and remodeling?

My current house is a manufactured home and still has original kitchen, bathrooms and 2 of the 3 rooms have not been touched. House was built in 1986. It is sitting on a permanent foundation.

Thanks for all advice in advance.
