The requirements of the second home according to Fannie Mae are:must be occupied by the borrower for some portion of the yearis restricted to one-unit dwellingsmust be suitable for year-round occupancythe borrower must have exclusive control over the propertymust not be rental property or a timeshare arrangementIf the lender identifies rental income from the property, the loan is eligible for delivery as a second home as long as the income is not used for qualifying purposes, and all other requirements for second homes are met (including the occupancy requirement above). cannot be subject to any agreements that give a management firm control over the occupancy of the propertyHope that helps!

My name is Adrienne and I am a practicing Pediatric Occupational Therapist and Business Owner. 

These homes have had occupants for 100 years.

Or if they seem tied on the financial side and had equal ability to pay, I would also make sure to check how they did on following rules, excessive wear and tear, noise, unauthorized occupants/pets, etc.

From AG officeYou cannot be directly charged for your use of any utility unless there is individual metering by a utility company, and your occupancy agreement provides for such a charge. 940 C.M.R. 10.05(4)(b)(3) and 10.05(4)(e).

There are a few Single Family Neighborhood HOA's that limit the number of occupants - but generally not an issue. 

The lease I signed with them says they have 7 occupants (5 children 2 adults); later I realized that the mother also lives in the apartment.

We were able to maintain over 80% occupancy and a very competitive rate throughout the Summer.
