Are FHA loans only for primary residences?

You can only use an FHA loan to purchase a primary residence. You can however refinance an FHA loan as an investment property if you have moved out and its used an investment property now.

Yes, owner occupied only.

I assume from your question that you are interested in an FHA loan for a one to four unit rental property. There are FHA programs available for apartment buildings, medical facilities, and other special purposes.

For purchase FHA will only allow owner occ but can be up to 4 units with the other units rented. If a former owner occ 1-4 unit property that is now 100% rented FHA will allow you to refi into a new FHA but it MUST be a streamline refinance WITHOUT an appraisal. No cash back to you and closing costs cannot be rolled into the new loan.

It is only for a primary residence. If you use it to purchase a 1-4 investment property, you have to live in one of the units.

You can use an FHA loan to purchase a 1 to 4 unit investment property, however in order to qualify you must live in one of the units.

Yes.

FHA loans are exclusively used for primary residences. However you can have multiple FHA loans if one of your properties turns into an investment property. WJ Bradley Mortgage Capital is always here to answer any questions. 949-743-5676
