is it possible to use equity in the home I currently own to buy a vacation home? What kinds of fees are involved with that?

It is permissible to cash out refinance your primary residence and use that cash to purchase a 2nd/Vacation home. I recommend finding a reputable mortgage loan originator in your area. The fees will be dependent on the 3rd party service providers and your lender fees.

Yes.. but to do so, you would need to do one of the following.. Take out a home equity line of credit (HELOC), take out a 2nd mortgage, or do a cash out refinance. With those funds, you can purchase your vacation home.. The fees will vary depending on which loan product you choose, and if you use the same lender for both transactions, you would probably get a good discount.
