Can you use an FHA loan on your second property?
Hello everyone, I'm looking to purchase my first property soon and am planning to use a conventional loan because I do not plan to live in this one. However I plan to house hack in future properties I purchase, and would like to use an FHA loan for that. So my question is, is it possible to use an FHA loan on a property that is not your first? And if it is possible, can I use it more than once if I refinance it using some other type of loan later down the road?

Hello Robbie,
Yes you can use FHA as long its your primary address and after 12 months you can refi out and have it available for use again. This is a common strategy many investors use to continue to buy their next property with low down payment.
