secondary home

Go for it. The risk of fraud is, in my opinion, negligible. Fraud is determined by intent. At the time you refinanced your primary residence, it was to obtain funds to allow you to do some remodeling and make investments. In exchange for preferential pricing, you committed to continue living in the home for the foreseeable future, which is generally interpreted as 'at least one year'. Some seven month later, after changes in the real estate market, you have decided that investing in another real estate property is a better risk than investing in the stock market. The market changes you are seeing justify your decision. As long as you don't let either home go into default, I see no one having an issue with your change of plans, and even if you did go into default, it is not likely they could make a case that your intent at the time you refinanced was anything other than honorable. So, Go for it. As a California native with a California Mortgage Originator license, I'd be happy to help.
