As @Bill Brandt said there are many people in the Reno Tahoe, NV area that live in Nevada 6 months and a day to claim residency and don't pay state income tax.

Sam and I was in a Mastermind together a while ago... although I don't know what he does in his group I can vouch that he is a legit guy and cares a lot about his people.

Hi, is there a minimum  amount of time we need to be residing in our home before we can rent it out and buy another one we can move into to qualify for the 5% down payment? 

Bringing in a new GC creates a situation of its own.You need to be extremely careful about how you mitigate your exposure to fixing legal contractual obligations to the new contractor to ensure it’s scope of services and remedies should problems arise in completing the job.In closing, I urge you not to feel too bad or blame yourself for the situation.

Hello,NYC resident here eager to get out of the city with my fiancé and begin our real estate journey with our first purchase.

- thanks and  assuming you are  planning to reside in the home and you dont have a FHA loan on any other property - you should be able to use a FHA loan. 

My goals are for him -  to ensure that I have enough money available for him to get whatever care he needs (he's fully independent now, still works on his bobcat, healthy, etc. - so I guess I need to estimate what those would be - he is in his 70s and has uncles and aunts that lived until late 90s and one until 102 when no one did) and a comfortable retirement (he is extremely frugal so that's not an issue).

If you meet most of the criteria, some may not care.4.
