FHA 203k Loan Primary Residence rules during rehab

[Devin Collins]

I understand the FHA 203k allows one to buy a Primary residence with a low downpayment and wraps the rehab costs into the loan. My question is what are the rules regarding the timeline to begin living in the home after the rehab?

I am in a year long lease that'll end in July of next year and would still love to be able to take advantage of this loan. Would it be possible to purchase a home in say April of next year and because of the rehab not move in until July?

Thanks in advance!
