If they are intending to buy another property, they may NOT be able to consider seller financing.If they are in a position to consider seller financing, you have to mention the benefits to them specifically and that varies from person to person.It is a learned process.

-Can anyone share their personal experiences investing in these areas ? 

As expected, I had to personally guarantee the loan but it's now in my business name and reporting to my business credit.  

@Caley Crossman Several of my clients have successfully used a Self-Directed Plan (RRSP, TFSA, etc.) to hold a mortgage against their own personal residential property. 

However the tenant is telling me they have personal issue and wants to move out of the lease or asking me options to break the contract. 

I work on most of the southwest Florida gulf coast area and there are some awesome long term hold spots that I personally have some investments and have helped other invest as well!

Thank god I did because I received it on the last day I could go to the assessor and talk to her in person before I the may 28th appeals datethe letter reads that my new assessment is 590k and that my new taxable rate was 91% of that 590k.  

I'm going to talk to customer support with both companies again, but thought I'd check on any thoughts from those who might have had personal experience with either company or changing programs in general.

I actually have done personally exactly what you're describing - HELOC on primary residence, use that to purchase new primary, move into new primary and rent the previous home(4 times in 5 years).

But I raise it incrementally and give them a respectful notice in person.
