How to aquire 3.5% down FHA Loan without Living in th unit

[Alan Nogier]

I am trying to take advantage of a 3.5% down FHA loan by purchasing a duplex in Wisconsin for my Grandma and one other tenant to live in while living in California. I don't know how to go about declaring it a primary residence if I work in California. I do have an online business and have Wisconsin license that I might be able to use but legally I don't know if this is possible. Please comment advice.

Thank you,

Alan

Can your Grandma qualify for the loan if you co-sign?  Just throwing it out there.
