Now, if you're traveling out of the country you will (typically) still have a place of residence here so that shouldn't be a problem.That being said, I'm pretty sure each lender has a requirement for what percentage of the year you need to be actually living in the property for it to qualify as your residence.

I would appreciate it very much if someone who is involved in real estate in Memphis, either as a realtor or as an investor, would private message me so I could have a text conversation and ask my questions.
