Stamp Duty- 1st Time Buyer vs Investor

[blackdiamond]

Hi - I want to buy an investment property and am a first time buyer. My question is if I pay stamp duty on my first property (the investment) does this mean I can still avail of the first time buyer scheme when i come to buy my own place in a few years time?

Once you buy a property (investment or PPR) you lose your FTB status with regards to stamp duty.
