Short term rental OK when purchasing with FHA?

[Nathaniel Ziomek]

Heard some mixed information on this, but just wanted to clarify: If one purchases a property with an FHA loan, is it legal to short-term rent a portion of the house or other unit/ADU? while living in the property or after one year/leaving the property?

 @Brittany Minocchi I have seen that verbiage, which is the reason I am posting this because I am currently talking to lenders and none of them are saying it is a problem.. but @Caroline Gerardo - you're saying that the only thing that matters is living in the property myself & it being a multi-unit or ADU?

@Ryan Thomson A realtor I spoke with said he had to do this, which is the first time I heard about this and why I am asking the question.

I'm afraid the answer right now isn't seeming clear cut to me given the different responses to this post alone lol

Just google it up read All the requirements on FHA’s website….instead of asking a variety of people that likely only know part of the rules..
