Primary residence to Rental
Hello
I have an FHA mortgage on my primary residence. I have owned and occupied this single-family home for 2.5 years, and mortgage payments are current etc.
I am relocating soon (but not purchasing a new property) and I want to rent out my home. Tenants will be required to get renters insurance.
What are my obligations to my lender and insurance co ?
Am I required to refinance?
Should I expect my insurance rates to go up considerably?
Even if not required to refinance, should I consider it, to save $ ? (I purchased at a pretty good rate 3.8)
Thank you for any leads or answers!
