Should i refinance my rental property and take cash out?

Scenario: current loan = 110k  current house value 350k  Lets say i take out a loan for 210k pay off my old loan and recieve 100k cash out.  my interest will go up, will i still get to deduct the full amount of interest against my rental income?  Does it matter what i do with the 100k?   Implications of: Improve rental property? pay down unrelated debt? Nothing-just put it in the bank?, Invest it in stock market or other investment opportunities?  When ultimately selling property will my taxable gain still be calculated after paying off debt (plus any depreciation recapture)?
