This was our personal home, doing a rehab or for a rental that's vacant would be much easier as far as moving furnitture, boxes, etc.   

Is this for a single family home or multi-family property?  

@Joe Villeneuve Hi Joe, I financed the home.

If you're selling a single-family home to an owner-occupant (I don't know if you are) – the "perfect" seller-financed note is 20% down, 10% interest, 10-year term.

Hi all- my partner and I are building a portfolio of group homes.

You can absolutely keep going from FHA to FHA (as long as you move into the properties), but you will need to refinance to first home into conventional before using FHA again.

You can get great photos with furniture in place and use that to show what a great home it is. 

This is considered a personal home - even though it has rental income, so you only have to have 3.5% down frequently, not the 20% down it takes to buy a true investment property.  

Although we have seen significant changes in pricing over the recent years, one thing that hasn't changed is that we still aren't seeing positive cash flow out of single family homes with any kind of financing in place, specifically with long term renters in place.

I have a STR which I renovated using a HELOC on my primary home.
