hi krobles,
it will be a good option to refinance the loan and get a cash out. as you've equity in your property, i don't think it would be difficult for you to get a refinance provided you and your husband have a stable income, good credit score and debt to income ratio. if both of you don't have a down payment, you might request your friends and relatives to gift you with the money.
thanks
