FHA Occupancy Requirements

Posted on: 15th Jan, 2011 08:54 am
When does the date of Occupancy start on an FHA loan? We have been living in the house for 7 months and did an FHA finance. We We We were suprised at closing to hear that we must live in the house for 12 months. We do not intend to move. However, what if we had to move due to financial reasons and rented the place out? We were told that we would be foreclosed upon if we moved.
We do not feel like it is our home anymore and live in worry in case we had to move due to the current economic situtation. How does the FHA "POLICE" check on our whereabouts and what we are and what we are not doing with our home? As I said, no longer feel happy nor secure in what should be a positive experience
hi guest,

if you want to refinance the mortgage, then you need to stay in the property for at least 12 months.
