I am currently doing two investment property FHA streamline loans so the short answer is YES you can do it. The hard part is finding a lender that offers that product. I only work in CA but I am sure if you call around you can find a lender that offers that program.
Best of luck

I just tried to do this but I was depending on the difference in payoff to offset some closing cost. No deal. FHA goes by actually loan balance & won't pay what lender has for payoff. It can be done if you have all your closing cost up front. Paramount Equity Mortgage was the lender I was dealing with.

Per the FHA Handbook you can streamline a non-owner occupied property. The difficulty is in finding a lender who will do it. Most lenders have overlays that state second homes and investment properties are ineligible. However, where there is a market there will always be an investor who services that niche.
I am a Loan Officer currently seeking an investor to broker one of these out to and of the 7 that I do business with currently, none of them will do it.

Yes you can do an FHA streamline on a non-owner occupied property but you can only refinance the existing balance and you do not have the option to role in the closing costs.

I am a lender & I can say from personal experience, that you can complete an FHA Streamline on a non-owner occupied property, provided of course, you qualify on everything else.
Many lenders will say that they cannot do these types of loans. They may even say that no one can do these & that is simply not the case.
Good luck with your refinance. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions, I'd be glad to help.

Yes, it's no different than an owner occupied no appraisal streamline.
You can contact John in IL, he only has 250 reviews though:
