The rules are different regarding maximum loan amount but yes.. you can streamline a FHA investment.. not every lender does them so be sure to ask when your shopping around.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

Yes, if you have an existing FHA mortgage on a 1-4 family investment property it can be streamlined. It MUST be done WITHOUT an appraisal so be sure your lender can accommodate this as some lenders require appraisals even on streamlines.

Streamline FHA Refinances are in fact allowed on 2nd homes and Investment Properties, however only when an appraisal is not required. We currently require a 680 mid-score on all borrowers. FHA also requires that a minimum of 5% reduction in monthly payment be a result of the refinance. Some restrictions may apply. Glad to discuss with you. ;) More details here: http://landhomenw.com/fhastreamline

If you have an FHA loan, and the lender you are working with will do the "True" streamline - without an appraisal, then you can do an FHA refi - but I would hurry, because as of June 2 -- the mortgage insurance on FHA will be a permanent process - you will have to keep paying it for as long as you have the FHA loan. Also, some lenders are already setting their FHA loans for that permanent setting - so be careful.
