For the most part, people who have FHA loans currently live in the property so banks consider it to be “owner occupied”.
But due to varying circumstances, many people who used to live in their home that is financed by an FHA loan have now moved out and currently have it as a rental. Banks consider this to be an “investment property”.

An FHA streamline refinance for investment properties can reduce the monthly mortgage payment on the property which will increase the cash flow the property produces.
