Found a house that checks all of our boxes, but found out it has not been occupied in 9 years.

Do you have any references that I could look into or should I just do a google search for Securities lawyers in Iowa?

So we have been debating a couple options,1) Buy condo/townhouse (possibly without FHA) and then buy single family residence with FHA, move into the SFR and rent the condo2) Rent apartment, then search for a multi-family to buy and house hack3) Buy single family home and delay buying a rental due to save up for down paymentI would love to hear any advice or opinions on the options listed above (or any others) as well as, purchasing a property on a short time frame, and using a FHA loan on the second property instead of the first.
