If it is technically my primary residence, would this be legal even if I rarely actually spend a night there?

Chimney rotation is typically associated with poor bearing characteristics of the soil or improperly installed or failed footings Gas Log fireplace needs repaired The primary condensate drain line for the air handler was separated in two areas in the crawlspace and shouldbe repaired so that the condensate will exit the crawlspace as intended.

My first purchase was a fixer upper, that is currently primary residence, and now currently looking for my next deal.

What steven was saying is if you keep a primary home 24 months as long as the gain is under $500k if you're married...it's completely tax free However - that's an all or nothing exclusion. 

The recorded liens against the property look to be valued at about 400K.The final judgement of foreclosure is close to 500K.From what I've learned on this site, it’s my understanding that when an IRS lien is put onto a property, that IRS lien becomes the primary lien and the mortgage holder/bank becomes the secondary lien.

However, I’m debating between 3 main options:A) Buy a primary residence with a higher down payment and lower my monthly mortgage payment.

HELOC on primary residence used for down payment and rehab with bank financing.

The primary drawback of a HELOC is a variable interest rate, which today could be double a fixed mortgage, as much as 10%.The best choice really comes down to a personal decision for what the plans are for the money, and how long the funds will be needed. 

Based on what you all have said, over the next 5-10 years my primary pursuits will be to first and foremost maximize my education and income in my profession and secondarily to invest in my business from a cashflow perspective (buying practices and dental real estate, hiring new associates to run those practices, etc).

I plan on buying a primary this spring time and putting it in my fiances name.
