Hi @Jheanell R.! I say go for it! My husband and I are in a very similar situation to you - we are currently living in a duplex and are planning on refinancing soon to pull out some money for our next purchase. We are probably going to be living in our next investment, but our thought is that it will be worth it in the long-run because it will allow us to build our investment portfolio faster. I would look into refinancing out of your FHA, so that you can do another FHA, or even an FHA 203k loan, on your next property. Good luck!

Hello! My husband and I are still new to real estate investing and are currently searching for our second investment property. We were looking for 4-family properties in order to maximize an owner-occupied loan, but we came across a 6-unit apartment building that could be an awesome deal. We are wondering if anyone has advice on different options for funding this kind of deal. We have already looked into two hard-money lenders, and found that they only go up to 4-unit buildings. Any help would be appreciated!
