Buy personal home or investment home first?

[Jay Michael]

If I buy a personal home first (first time home buyer) and then try to get a rental property with my business partner, would that present any problems, credit wise?

What if I got the rental property first? Would that present problems for me trying to get a personal home?

I suppose house hacking COULD be possible, however I'm wanting a bigger house to have room and stability for my fiance and her kids, so living for a year and then moving to something else may or may not be something that's on the table. It might have to be a longer term thing where we're paying my business rent for owning the house.

Idk, I don't want to put my personal or business goals on hold, any suggestions?

As mentioned I don't think any perfect answer. I think purchasing a primary conservatively with a lower down payment (to leave enough for the required larger down payment on an investment) would be my suggestion, if you purchase your primary home first.
