Can I live in a closet

[Jonathan Baptiste]

Hi,

I am buying my first property, with three bedrooms and 2 baths. I got approved for an FHA so I have to live in the property for a year, but I also want to make as much money as possible. There is a big closet maybe 7x7 room that double as a small room. For it to be considered a room I would have to make some adjustments, but If I'm the owner can I live in a room that is not technically a bedroom and rent out all the other official bedrooms?

Thanks

Technically it needs a closet, egress and a window. But who is going to report you?

In case of a fire you could be in trouble so never allow a tenant to do that.

We never had this discussion.
