Short Term Renting Primary Residence

[Account Closed]

Is it possible to buy a primary residence and live in it but also rent it on AirBnB when I'm on vacation or on weekends when I'm away? Are there a certain number of days the house must be owner occupied to stay within the mortgage guidelines for OO?

As long as you don't own another property I doubt anyone can claim you don't live there, regardless of the short-term rental stuff. For taxes the IRS usually considers anywhere you live more than 6 months your "primary" residence.
