No experience, need help please!!

I am 50. I am married but financially dependent from my husband. I have a mortgage of £93000. The house price is £200,000. At the moment I pay interest only 5.75 %( £446.25 per month) the lender is CO-OP. Recently I moved out to live with my husband and rent out the house for £800/ month. I do not have a job.
1. If I remortgage, will I have to look for BTL mortgage? (I don’t live at my home anymore.)
2. Will I be able to get interest only mortgage with lower interest?
3. Should I look for a repayment mortgage? I can afford around £700 monthly payment.
4. What will be the best mortgage for me and where can I find it?
Please give me some advice.
Thank you

    Yes you can get interest only, yes you are likely to get a better rate and it is likely you will require a mortgage broker to achieve these.

    Most buy to let properties are done on interest only, although you can have a repayment...

    Good luck
