Thanks but no hoochie doll.

Repeat:  Why are occupancy requirements for owner occupancy set at "one (1) year"?   Is this federally mandated, legal precedence or other reason? 

"Note: You must have the intent to occupy the residence for at least one year and will sign an affidavit at closing stating you agree to that principle."

Is this "Note" a regulation and if so where can it be found? Does it cancel out FHA regulation 4155.14.B.1.a and 4155.14.B.1.a after the first year?

It is my understanding that after a period of occupancy for one year that it does cancel the occupancy requirement but I do not know if it is Federally mandated or legal precedence as a result from HUD vs Et Al (???).
