Using an FHA Loan to Finance Off-market Deals

[Miles Gastil]

I’m looking to house hack a multi family property in a hot market. 

My goal was to try and find an off market deal with a motivated seller, but I don’t have the capital to seller finance. 

Can anyone advise on the process of using an FHA loan to finance an "off-market" deal if that's possible? Or does the property have to be posted on the MLS in order to take advantage of the FHA?

Thanks in advance for the insight.
