FHA loans are intended for owner-occupied properties, not investment properties. However, there are exceptions to this.
If you live in a duplex, you can get an FHA loan for the whole property while living in one and renting out the second unit. The FHA gives loans for owner-occupied properties with up to four units. This means you can buy a four unit complex with an FHA loan and rent out the other three units, provided you live in at least one.
The other occasion FHA loans cover rental property is when you've moved out of the home. If you bought the property under an FHA loan and have to move, you can retain the FHA mortgage on the property while renting it out. The home you've previously lived in can also be refinanced under the FHA streamline refinance program. You can even get a second FHA mortgage for a new home if you have at least 25% equity in the old house, and you moved out as your family grew. The FHA's only limitation on this practice is that you've lived in the property for at least twelve months.
If you buy it, move in and then move out, the FHA can sue you for violation of the real estate Settlement Procedures Act. The FHA doesn't set rental rates when you rent out the property, but it is your responsibility - not the renter's responsibility - to pay the FHA mortgage payments on time and in full.
One small caveat to the FHA rental rules is when you first buy the home. The prior occupants may still live in it when you close. When you take out an FHA mortgage, you must move in within 60 days of closing. You can let the prior occupants rent for the 60 days until you move in. This is technical renting out the property.

Can you buy a HUD home with a FHA loan?
Yes, as long as the property meets the condition standards of the FHA loan. The HUD homes are not always in acceptable condition and this makes it difficult to obtain FHA financing because the seller will not allow you to make repairs to the property until after the loan is closed. However, the FHA loan requests that required repairs be made prior to closing.

Not if it is a non-owner occupied investment property. HOWEVER...... If it is a duplex or 4 plex and the borrower is going to live in one of the units, then you can. If the owner moves out of the unit at a later time, they will still be allowed to keep the property as an FHA property and are eligible for streamline refinance.
You already have a fha loan on a mobil home but you want a house loan what do you do to get another loan?
Well this will depend on what kind of FHA program you are insured under for your mobile home. If it is a "Home Loan" under 203(b) program then only under certain circumstances will you be allowed another FHA. BUT if you received a "Dealer" kinda of loan under the FHA program for the mobile home it can be classified as "personal property".......possibly.... If there is land or real estate property involved in the loan then probably not. Only a FHA Lender (underwriter) will be able to determine based on a verification of mortgage or loan from your current mobile home lender.
