FHA Loan Question - Need guidance!

[Ryan Koehler]

Here is my situation: Currently looking at a 4-unit deal, the property meets all necessary qualifications for the FHA program and I meet the requirements for the loan. Assume that all numbers work and the deal is a slam-dunk from a financing perspective. Is there a way I can still get the loan without living in one of the four units from day 1 (leaving one of the four units vacant and renting elsewhere)? Perhaps still listing my address as the FHA property but choosing to live elsewhere for the first year? I work about 50 minutes from the subject project so the commute is still realistic.

Thank you in advance. I really appreciate any advice!

Nope. There's no way to do that legally.

If you are asking "How will I get caught?", well, I'm not sure. But it's really not something you should mess with, and I'm sure you understand why it would be irresponsible to ask people on this forum how to best commit a crime.
