The fha 100 mile rule will be triggered whenever you try to vacate your current primary and also trying to use the rental income to qualify.However, this 100 mile rule can be exempted for the following rulesRelocationIncrease in family sizeVacating a joint owned propertyNon-occupying co-borrowerIf you are not trying to use FHA on your 2nd house hack, you can use conventional and the rules that I mentioned above will not be a concern and will be exempted.
