There is no mandatory time limit as to when you can sell your home, however if you purchased it recently with the intent to fix it up and flip it, then if you try to use FHA for the next home, the underwriter could question your intent.. they will know what you purchased, how much you paid for it, and what you sold it for, and how long it took to sell.. if they think your doing an end run around "Investor purchasing" which typically requires 20% or more down and higher interest rates, then they could deny you on the next one.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. William J.

There is no pre payment penalty on FHA loans - you can resell your property anytime- Be aware that if you have purchased the property within the last 6 months,did repairs and renovations and are trying to "flip" the property and then take out another FHA loan, the underwriter may question your intent to live in the property as you primary residence. For more information e-mail me at pete.bass@everbank.com

Not that this would necessarily matter to you as a borrower, the lender may be charged back for an "early payoff" from their investor. Typically this period is about 210 days the investor must hold the loan in order for the originating lender to avoid being charged this fee.If I can help, just let me know.Thank you

Right away - no rule against it. It may make it harder to get FHA financing again for the next 12 months however.

There are no pre-payment penalties or any other restrictions to selling a home financed with a standard FHA loan. You can do it anytime you desire.
