Most lenders would like to see you season the loan you have for 6 to 12 months however there are others that do not but the rates are or can be higher.

The most importaint thing in doing a secound is credit score [middle]. With 800 I can almost do anything.

Also the Loan to Value [ the percentage of the 1st + new 2nd to the appraised value also will determine the rate. You should also read your note to see if you have to pay a pre payment penalty and if you do take that into your decision.
