First Single Family Property Purchase - Out of State

[Andrew Toups]

Looking for a little guidance here, perhaps I am overthinking what "Proof" you need for a Primary Residence. 

Situation -

I'm looking to invest out of state in a single family property home, I currently do not own a home so this will be my first. My current job allows me to work from home 3 days a week. Is there a way I can leverage this into this home being my Primary Residence so I can put a low amount of money down? The one problem I'm reading is typically the IRS will look to see if your place of work is in close proximity to your Primary Residence. I believe there are several ways they validate Primary Residence but I'm wondering how thorough it actually is. I am willing to reroute all my mail here/register in this state to vote.

Thanks!
