Your Lender

James,Feel free to send a private email & I'll be happy to interview.

Property manager, lender and investors.

If you are buying it as an investment property, you are buying it at a much higher rate than a traditional owner-occupied loan so you must be in a primary residence now and are just planning a just-in-case scenario.At first, I thought this was a no-brainer answer as if you can do whatever you want, but those investment loans are banking on the income projected as part of the collateral for the loan so it's a good question.A seasoned lender or someone who has had to move back into one of their properties will get you the best answer.
