I am simply looking for general advice and feedback on experiences with this type of transaction.My situation is as follows.Purchased a SFH in May 2016 for $96,500 with an FHA loan for my primary residence.In Summer of 2018 I am looking to refinance to a conventional loan because I believe I will be at 20% equity at this point, if not I will wait a bit longer.I would like to maintain ownership of this home and rent at a rate of $1000/month.For my next property I would like to purchase a home that qualifies for 203k financing.

I was wondering if anyone might be able to share their individual experience regarding this type of loan option?

Just make sure you go down and do a title search to make sure you're not saddled with a tax lien, a second mortgage, or some other type of lien on the property you buy. 

What type of property are you looking to purchase (single family, small multifamily 1-4 units or something larger)?

Unable to obtain bank financing due to the property type (older single wide mobile home on acreage), the seller agreed to take back a note for the buyer.Sale Price $120,000Down Payment $ 7,000Original Balance $ 113,000Terms: 9.5% interest, $987.28 per month, 300 month termThe sellers, being of retirement age, wanted something more than monthly payments.

Depends on what type of property you are looking at. 

Does the type of sale, whether, short sale, foreclosure, owner owned, depict if the price of the property can be negotiated?

Which product type will generate you the most return on your investment. 

Does anyone have any experience with this type of thing?
