How soon after an FHA loan are you able to apply for a new loan?

[Dasia Washington]

I planned on purchasing my first home within the next 3 months with FHA and 7-10k down.

After the 12 months, I would like to turn this into a rental property.

Recently, I was approached by a friend of mine who is willing to invest in a property with me as a passive investor as he has an enormous amount of capital and I have boots on the ground in Nashville while he also doesn’t want to deal with day to day operations.

We would both contribute 7-10k down on either a SF or duplex to be used as a rental immediately.

What might be a good strategy here?

Waiting the entire year in the home I will own and trying for another FHA?

Or just going half in on the conventional route in order to make the 2nd investment within a year?

Is that even possible?

To have an FHA loan and at the same time, be joint on a conventional loan?

Any other strategies that could be used here?

Thank you for any guidance you can offer.

There is no seasoning period if you're applying for second homes or investment properties or even as cosignor/coborrowers on someone elses primary residence so long as you're claiming yourself as a non occupant. However, if you're asking how long till you can claim another primary residence, 12 + months to be safe (6-12 in some instances with relocation, family, etc).
