Home Loan for buying a out-of-state house

[Artur A.]

Hi guys, I'm pretty new here 

I live and work in the Bay Area and planning to buy a house in the midwest (eventually move there).  If it is Investment property loan - interest is 5.2%, home loan - 3.57% (50 k less total amount). 

What are the requirements for getting a home loan - only that I have to live there for the first 6 weeks? Can I purchase a property without living there first 6 weeks? 

Thank you

Artur
