FHA Loan Construction Timeline

[Stuart Johnson]

I have a duplex I am looking to make an offer on with an FHA Loan. I have a motivated and reliable contractor lined up and responsive lender already. For an 1800 SF duplex that needs a full gut job down to the studs, how long would one expect for construction to be completed and tenants being allowed to move in? Unfortunately, I won't have too much time before I'll need tenants!
