Can you get an FHA loan for an investment property?

In: Personal Finance, Loans, Mortgages, Money Management [Edit categories]

Answer:

Not if it is a non-owner occupied investment property. HOWEVER...... If it is a duplex or 4 plex and the borrower is going to live in one of the units, then you can.

If the owner moves out of the unit at a later time, they will still be allowed to keep the property as an FHA property and are eligible for streamline refinance.
