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.

The VA loan assumption can be done by a non-va buyer, as long as that person selling does not use their VA loan benefits on their next purchase.

I personally found I’m good at it if it’s a simple job, normal easy walls, but hire out if its 2-story height, painting cabinetry, wood windows etc as they are a all a big pain.
