If you do the FHA Streamline refinance you can lower your payment and what ever you do with the condo after you close is up to you. I can help with your FHA Streamline Refi with almost no out of pocket expense. I look forward to hearing from you.

Your question is confusing.. If your CURRENT property has an FHA loan, then you can rent it out if you move.. Guidelines state you must qualify for the new housing payment as well as your existing mortgage payment, but you might not be able to use any potential rental income from the new tenant... Also, the new home you're looking to purchase will need to be a conventional loan.. in most cases, you cannot have 2 FHA loans out at one time.. Conventional will require a minimum of 5% down, and if your looking at condo's, then the complex must be approved to obtain financing.. for more direct questions regarding your scenario, it's best you contact a LOCAL mortgage broker and apply with them. Once they see your complete loan profile, they will be better equipped to advise you properly. Also, by applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with many lenders with each one offering a different type of lending program. This is unlike the local bank which typically only has a few lending programs. The more lenders, the more lending options, and the more likely your scenario will be accepted.. Plus, the broker is experienced in seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario, and he has lower overhead which typically results in lower rates and fees than most of the larger lenders.. 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. William J.

It is allowed to rent a home on which you have an FHA mortgage. The challenge is purchasing your next home with a second FHA mortgage. It is possible, but you will need to document the reason that you are moving. Acceptable reasons for purchasing a new home with another FHA mortgage include moving a significant distance from your previous home, or a change in family size which requires a family to UPSIZE. Downsizing may be a little more questionable.

So the FHA streamline loan is actually a refinance option that allows you to have less documentation provided. If you want to rent out your current property and buy a new one you will need to more than likely qualify with both payments against you have a few months reserves for the PITI on the property you are vacating and have at least 3% for a down payment.

Yes, you can refinance with a FHA Streamline but you have to disclose as part of the process that you intend to rent it out (or already do). As someone else pointed out, you may not be able to obtain another FHA loan to purchase the condo and you may have to qualify for another mortgage without counting any rental income on the other property.
