Rental property question

Chad Hoober

Posted

I own a house now where I live and I am interested in a triplex for sale that has renters in one unit, which would cover my mortgage and some. Is it possible to buy the home and make one of the units my primary residence even if I don’t live in it so I don’t have to put 20% down and then rent the other two out for now?

No, it is not okay or legal to commit mortgage fraud.
