Having trouble getting qualified buyers because of FHA requirements.

[Chip Chaunamom]

I have a 1 bedroom condo listed for sale in my area. It's a beautiful unit and I've been getting several calls from buyer agents but the first thing they ask is "Is the complex FHA certified?" Well, I checked and as it turns out it is not. It has something to do with the ratio of owner occupants to renters.

Is there anyway around this? If not I believe I will have to go back to renting the unit out. I purchased this unit for $45,000 back in 2012 and now the market has went up significantly and I maybe able to get double that in return. This defeats the whole purpose of why I purchased this if I'm unable to sell it unless I find a buyer with conventional financing other than folks with FHA loans.
