The purpose of an owner occupant loan is to allow you to purchase a property that you make your primary residence -- you live there, you get your mail there, you're registered to vote there, etc.While you might get away with it, here are some things to consider:- You have another lease, so you'd have to explain why you had 11 months left on a lease and then bought a primary residence;- It's an unfinished area, nobody is likely to believe you live there vs an apartment you also have control of;- You've posted in a public Internet forum, presumably with your real name, that you're considering breaking the law.Then there are the code violations of pretending your living in an unzoned space, which may or may not impact your loan status.

Hi Seth Hettena,A few ways to learn about opportunities in other markets is to:1) Ask others in the BiggerPockets forums.2) Download my "2013 Housing Market Forecast" report.3) Visit my website (see my BP profile).4) Do your own market/economic/housing research on the internet (the slowest method).Maybe you'll do all of the above just to be thorough.

I've worked with a ton of international investors and I do offer mentoring through my personal company (not affiliated with any one real estate provider).
