Using FHA Loan to Relocate, Refinance current FHA or

Kevin Williams`

Hello BP Community,

I am looking to move from my current property to a new one in a different state. I currently hold a FHA loan on my first residence and I would like to house hack in a new city.

I have talked with loan officers about refinancing the first property to a conventional mortgage so that I could use FHA to get a 3-4 unit property, does anyone have experience with this strategy? My plan is to refinance my current loan to a conventional get a new loan on a 3-4 unit then ultimately refinance out of that one into another. If my math is correct, by the third property I should have enough cash to buy multi-units using conventional loans.

Does anyone see any flaws in my strategy? Any advice/criticism would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advanced!

Is this for a job relocation over 100 miles away? That's actually one of the rare circumstances where you CAN have multiple FHA loans at once.
