Be it a low down payment conventional, first time home buyer program in your state, or a FHA loan with a co-signer. 

I’d like to avoid getting a co-signer, like from a parent or someone, if possible.Thanks for any advice!

I would recommend speaking to a qualified lender or mortgage broker to see if there's any way around this perhaps with you as a co-borrower/co-applicant and your partner as the primary since he will be the one owner-occupying the property.

To augment, check with your CPA - so long as you use the same LLC for your share of the new partnership & you otherwise qualify under 1031 - your new partner can take title any way they want as a co-owner  - it seems it should work.

Am i qualified for an FHA Loan on that multifamily property as a co-borrower of my brother's loan?  

Hello, I am a first time home buyer/investor, I had a co-op transferred to me and decided to take out a 150k HELOC at 6.29% . 

@Giezy Villavicencio-   get pre approved   with just  yourself as  the buyer   and  plan to buy a  property  to be your primary residence  ...if you cant  qualify on your  own -  consider  having a  co borrower  ( parents /  relatives  )  ... 

Then, have a co-beneficiary agreement that is tied to the land trust that looks more like a JV agreement defining each partners roles, responsibilities, income/equity split, etc. 

however, it is going to be very difficult to get any type of traditional loan without a co-borrower.

As a beginner, you can learn a lot from your uncle with a few rentals in another state or a co-worker that's on their second house hack.
