The product is available.

Their only product line left is farm/ranch.

Beyond that period, new applicants will need to wait until the current active rental list declines by roughly 100 permits. 

I really liked the product.

It's not uncommon for buyers using FHA products to face rejected offers or the need to significantly sweeten deals to compete with those favoring conventional loans.

There are some connectivity issues with it, but overall a good product.

For this product most lenders will go off of the purchase price plus your rehab cost for a conventional loan.

And the above examples I don't think are good analogies - renting a crane and using it for other productive work is not the same thing as renting something and just pocketing the middle man fee.

There tons of old duplexes that need renovating, and vacancy rates for a nice product are very very low like 1-3%.
