Buying vacation home as your first property?

[Gabriella Borukhov]

What is your opinion on buying a vacation home as your first property? 

I would like to eventually buy a fourplex with an FHA loan and house hack however, I am playing with the idea of buying a single family home as a vacation home and airbnb it to gain some experience and have a place to stay when traveling. I am concerned if this will ruin my chances of getting approved for an FHA loan since it will be my first property that I buy.

What are your thoughts?
