I am beyond the two years required.What I am trying to do is find a way to buy a multifamily using FHA 3 1/2% down payment as opposed to 20% or 25% as an investment property.I have a situation where it would be beneficial for me to try and help my mom and my sister move into a place because I can afford to purchase it… The grey area is whether or not they are considered family members per FHA guidelines to qualify for the 3 1/2% down payment. on the FHA website… It says family members are considered parents, sisters, brothers, etc.I am definitely not trying to do anything illegal, I just thought maybe if I sell my primary residence… I could buy the multiunit per FHA guidelines as long as my mom and my sister are considered family.I have been told that the 12 month or 24 month living requirement only requires one family member to live in the home… So if my mom and my sister are considered family members… Does that meet the requirement?
