Thank you that is also what I'm thinking but there are so many different answers some refer to financed purchasers having only 60 days to begin occupancy - as a buyer who will not need financing that is where I am finding difficulty - our agent is checking but also getting different answers - I may just call HUD and speak to someone.

We are currently looking at a HUD home in Georgia - I have a couple of questions and can't seem to find a definitive answer - The home is currently in the OO listing period - our plan would be to buy the home doing extensive renovations (the home is in a "Historical" area so renovations have to be approved) once completed we plan on living there full time - it could take ip to a year to complete or longer I don't know - as I see it the OO designation is to be the OO for a min of 12 months - is this after the home has been renovated or after you close on the home - though the house could probably technically be lived in now it does have some water and roof damage and needs complete redo of electrical and plumbing - for me to deem it safe - so not really livable by normal standards - but no way it would be livable in just a couple of months - any thoughts or an actual answer to the OO rules
