Am I required to spend time in a property to FHA qualufy?
I own a fishing boat. I fish Alaskan water for salmon. This years season is over so I plan on wintering in the harbor town of Anacortes Wa. I stay on my boat. Moorage must be paid on the vessel when in port whether or not I'm on it so I just find it easier to stay on it year round. I like Anacortes and so I want to buy an SFR here. Is it possible to get an FHA loan calling this place "my home"even though I'm fishing in Alaska half the year and just staying on the boat the other half. This is my particular plan to house hack. Possibly akin to buying a home, renting it out, and living in the tent or tiny house in the yard.
