But, as my wife and I have done this over the past 5 years, we have found it moves less and less each time, and that we are essentially living the life we envisioned 5 years ago when we started this process. 

I also can take out a home equity line of credit on my current home....but I need direction.

For those that qualify for conventional financing its another negotiation tool, for those that do not its a way to get into real estate but many do not understand what it is they are signing up for.Regarding it being good for an owner, again it goes back to the borrower, if I have a borrower with 800 credit and I control cashflow its far different than someone with 540 credit.

Most lenders will let you use up to 70% or sometimes even less.

Don't make your life more complicated than it has to be.
