As a newbie, I was wondering if seeking a conventional loan for my first rental property will affect my eligibility in the future to get a FHA loan to purchase my first primary SFR? I have never owned a home and my ne...

@Jacob Coulter - I was in a slightly similar situation this Summer as I was looking at a 4 unit that had a large foundation issue.  

Sometimes it can be tough to separate yourself from the situation.

I suspect that we will all be waiting a lifetime to see rates back to were they were 2 to 4 years ago.. so I would not bank on that.. as for pricing.. if its a place to live then you certainly can just wait and see.. its not like your homeless or need to move other than you don't care for your neighbors.. markets always slow about now.. what will be telling in my mind is were we are at next Feb March April in the buying season as it were.I was in a conference this week here in Vegas and some of the speculation is that many of the commercial type loans that had 5 , 7 and 10 year calls  are going to stress those that had max leverage.. as the rates rise the cap rates rise to keep pace thereby devaluing the properties.. to the point some of these investors are going to need to bring some to significant amount of fresh capital to pay down their debt to get a refi.. and that will stress those assets and there could be a real buying opp in that sector.. at least that's what I gleaned from the talk I listened to yesterday... hope you find that dream home in the country !!!

I'd want to know more of the situation especially as it relates to if the whole thing was avoidable. 

I had become extremely stressed & had fallen into depression.

Thankfully, all my other STRs are lease situations.  

I love it when people never post what the aftermath of a situation was.

(hopefully it's better than that) Under this scenario, I would do your diligence on kind of a 'stress test' with regards to risk management.
