FHA New Fourplex Construction DIY

[Shawn Rasmussen]

Has anyone built a new multi-family property with FHA and done some of the work yourself?

Is FHA more strict with DIY on new construction vs 203k renovations? I would either hire a GC or do it myself. Foundation, framing, siding, shingles and water/sewer/gas/electrical mains would all be hired out. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, flooring, drywall, paint, and cabinets would all be DIY. Let's assume I can prove to FHA and the lender that I'm able to do these tasks. Would something like this be allowed on a new construction?
