how long do you have to live in a "house hack"

I am wondering what the normal amount of time the buyer must live in a home to buy it with a conventional mortage or FHA loan. My fiance and I are looking at a duplex. I own my home so we were wondering if he could move there and put the loan in just his name which may qualify him for an FHA loan....however were wondering how long he would have to "live" there???
