Out of State with an FHA Loan

[David Nguyen]

Hi, I want to house hack out of state with an FHA loan however, I currently live in California and the FHA loan would require me to live on the property for one year as well as show proof of income. This would require me to leave my job and find one in the city I am house hacking.

My question is, how do people use an FHA for an out of state investment. Do they find a job there first before doing an FHA loan? Should I scratch all this and just do a conventional loan while living in California and invest out of state?

Thank you everyone, im new to the site and its been great so far
