fyi - if buying the 2nd home and using a FHA loan - you will need to refinance the 1st loan into a conventional loan ..... or you can use a conventional loan to buy the 2nd home

Hey @Alex Ballesteros,

You have your answer already in the previous threads. I also recommend thinking about how you will finance your 2nd property since with an FHA loan, you'll be putting down a very small down payment. In 1 year you likely won't have enough equity to "cash out" for the down payment on the next property. Hope this helps!
