3% Live-in Requirement

[Daniel Romero]

As a first time home buyer, you qualify for 3% down.  BUT you must occupy the property for 12 months.  Is there any way around this? I am looking to buy a property, but would prefer to sleep somewhere else.  I will spend sufficient time at the address though, as well as having mail sent to this address. Ideally, I would rent the property sooner than 12 months.
