Here is some info. on the FHA regulation...
Below you will see my email from FHA in response to my phone inquiry.  In the response, you'll see that they cite Handbook 4155.2.  A search of HUD's website led me to the 466-page handbook. In Chapter 4, page 25 (4-25), the anti-flipping regulation is laid out.  A specific answer to the question as to when the 90 days begins can be found at 4155.2 4.7.e, which is on the bottom of Chapter 4, page 26 (4-26)  It is very clear that the 90 day clock begins ticking on the "Seller's date of acquisition as the date of settlement on the seller's purchase of that property, and re-sale date as the date of execution of the sales contract by a buyer intending to finance the property with an FHA-insured loan."
