FHA Loan question

[Nick Mazziotti]

Living at home with family in NY 

Can I purchase a home in SC with an FHA Loan and make it my primary residence, but still be living with family in NY while contractor work is being done on SC property. This would be my first property purchase. After all contractor work is done in 10-12 months would than want to rent it out.

Thanks

A property that needs 10-12 months of rehab won't make it through FHA appraisal
