The only circumstances in which a borrower with an existing FHA insured loan for a principal residence may obtain another FHA insured mortgage on a new principal residence.

Relocation -A borrower may be eligible to obtain another FHA-insured mortgage without being required to sell an existing property covered by an FHA-insured mortgage if the borrower is:

  • Relocating or has relocated for an employment related reason, and
  • Establishing or has established a new principal residence in an area more like than 100 miles from the borrower’s current primary residence.
  • If the borrower moves back to the original area, the borrower is not required to live in the original house and may obtain a new FHA-insured mortgage on a new principal residence. As long as the relocation meets the two requirements above.

    Increase in Family Size - A borrower may be eligible for another house with an FHA-insured mortgage if the borrower provides satisfactory evidence that

  • The has had in increase in legal dependents and the property now fails to meet the family’s needs; and
  • The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio on the current principal residence is equal to or less than 75% or is paid down to that amount, determined by comparing the outstanding mortgage balance to a current residential appraisal.
  • Vacating a jointly-owned Property - A borrower may be eligible for another FHA-insured mortgage if the borrower is vacating (with no intent to return such as divorce, legal separation, etc...) the principal residence which will remain occupied by the existing co-borrower.

    Non-occupying Co-borrower - A non-occupying co-borrower on an existing FHA-insured mortgage may qualify for an FHA-insured mortgage on a new property to be their own primary residence.

    Please see my other post for more information on obtaining an FHA Mortgage.
