For instance, if I find it takes me longer than expected to prepare the property for rental (say, 6 months) I would like that time to have counted as my using the house as my primary residence, which it would be (I own/rent no other property and will have to find a place to live when I rent the house).

For instance, I am on a few buyer lists and have received several emails regarding HUD homes.

However, you can prepare to have the work done before you close.For instance, if you're going to be doing the work/repairs yourself, take any measurements you need and buy any supplies you'll need beforehand so that you're ready to get to work as soon as you close.

I looked into Section 8 quite a bit though previously, and what I found is that - even though it is a federal/nationwide program - the actual administration of the program is done at the county level and subject to change and minor differences from county-to-county.For instance, in counties around mine (i.e.

For instance, by statute NC law exempts the licensure requirements of 'casual' note investor of 5 or less notes/year.
