Kinda why my financial goals are to pay that small loan asap so I can refinance since I don't see any other way.
That ARM rate is high for this market. You must be on a prime + X plan. To refinance the first, you would need to get the place with the second to agree to keeping the second position. If they are both at the same institution, I am not sure if they would consider refinancing the first in a situation like this. You might want to contact your bank, let them know your plans and get the opinion. If the loans are at the same place, I wouldn't be suprised if they told you they wouldn't jsut refi the first. If that is the case, you would be better off paying extra on the second instead.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.
