I don’t have a finance background and recently started investing in stocks and mutual funds (around 5K usd). I want to ramp up my investments but not sure how and where. Any recommendations for any books/subscriptions/blogs that can help me?

I just heard recently that if you refinance and your house appraises at 20% more than the amount owed, you can remove PMI. Is this correct?
