Any advice on hanging my license with a traditional company vs. a flat fee company to maximize return on real estate investments?

I'm in a similarly uncertain situation with my primary neighbor.

My question is when we go to get a mortgage, will a appraisal for a traditional mortgage give any credit for the warehouse or will it just consider the value of the house?

Or if you want to get rehab loans through a bank, your options would be a 203k loan (if you intend owner occupy the property) or a HomeStyle Rehab loan if you do not plan on it being your primary residence.

@Wes BlackwellThanks for the replies to everyone.A bit more about me and my current state, unfortunately I am going through a divorce (we were married through her tradition which means not legally yet the pain is the same) that being said; I do understand your points Wes.

I would love to learn more about this process, such as do these homes need to be primary residences, vacation homes, strict rental properties. 

I need to do some upgrades to sell my home or rent it out in 2 years. I’m not sure which is better in my case. I have a 3.625 rate now and am hoping to rent it out in 2 years if I can save enough cash in the mean time...

That guy loses his primary residence and his dream.

I am now leaving the company and am going to roll my 401k into a tradition pre-tax IRA and then a self direct post tax Roth IRA.
