Does anyone know if you can do an FHA streamline refi for a non-occupied unit?

After that it is a custom selection based on various factors, some of which include: vacant/Occupied, due date/last paid, legal status, BK status, property value, etc.

Sounds like you want the time and mental space back that this property occupies in your life.

I can buy one with a VA loan if I occupy one of the units but I’m having a hard time finding any on the market right now.

You have to disclose that it won't be owner occupied but it's still conventional financing subject to fannie/freddie underwriting requirements (like a decent DTI)-- you'll pay a little more than you will for an owner occupied property but it still the cheapest financing for a non-owner occupied investment property (I thought these usually aren't callable loans if you haven't done something fraudulent).
