Will FHA be available if you already own a home and need the loan for an investment property??

@Scott C. and @Anthony Kemp

3.5% down for an investment property does not exist.

FHA requires you to live in the property for at least a year. It's called "house hacking".

@Anthony Kemp

Carrington Mortgage is being very aggressive on FHA pricing and guidelines. I know on FHA, with 3.5% down, they will go down to a 580 mid credit score (10% down if score is between 550 and 579) and have been known to go over 50% dti.

Not sure if either of those two things matters, but they are top three in pricing on the ICON report and a top 10 Ginnie Mae servicer so you loan most likely won't be sold after close.

If you need a number, PM me and I'll get you in touch with one of their loan originators.
