Not unless there is enough distance and a justifiable reason for a 2nd property on a FHA loan. Example, her employer transferred her to an office 80 miles from existing location.

Q. Can only a first time home buyer use the FHA loan program?
A. No. You can use FHA home loans as many times as you desire when buying a home or doing a mortgage refinance. The only guideline is that you cannot have more than one outstanding FHA mortgage loan with a loan to value of higher than 75%. You can own rental property and purchase your primary residence using FHA mortgage financing.

Depends on the LTV of the first home, and there will have to be a justifiable reason for the second FHA loan. (Like the second poster said, a transfer by her employer or a new job more than 100 miles away.) Also to be eligible for DPA you will need to check with your FHA investor. Most of ours (wells, countrywide, etc) have stopped DPA with new locks effective Friday the 29th.

Taylor Bean is honoring DPA for final underwrite completed through end of September. So far they have the longest lasting support of it
I've seen.

thanks for your input. I knew this was near impossible.
