I just completed an exchange of a single family residence in Scottsdale to a single family residence in Durango, Colorado. 

out of state is more difficult than advertised. do you already own a primary residence? 

Hello all,I just closed on my primary residence with an FHA loan so I am not able to house hack since I am obligated to live in the residence for a year.

Quote from @Khon Kounbandith: Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

Are you/your partner(s) foreign nationals or non-permanent resident aliens?

Since there is a co-owner, you would have to purchase the property and it is really hard (if not impossible) to pull a HELOC as the basis for the purchase (since it is not your primary residence). 

I want to know whether it would work legally for me to buy a home and occupy it for 6 months and then relocate for the maximum time of two years and then return to the property a my primary residence.

@Jason Khoury I purchased my current residence, a duplex, from a local non-profit about 5 years ago.

I currently reside in Ohio where I buy SFR rentals and do a couple flips a year.
