Buying a home through wholesaler (wants cash) want to be primary

[Jared Sutherland]

I found a home with purchasing through a wholesaler. They want cash close.  However, I don't have all of the cash to purchase ($500k).  Can I get a hard money loan then convert to traditional. I know most hard money won't allow owner occupied so I would have to wait to live in it until I could get a traditional. Has anyone ever done this to score a deal on their next primary residence?  

Thanks.
