just closed on a house as primary but now found another house want to buy as investment and live in it

I just recently closed on a home that my wife and I were going to live in. This home was a primary residence loan. Well. our dream house came on the market we have been looking at for years and we want to purchase that as well. I would be buying it as an investment loan since I have used my primary residence loan. my question is would I be committing mortgage fraud if I live in my loan investment house and rent out my primary residence house. How could I make this work out to own both without getting into fraud by vistre_409_616 from Keller, Texas. Apr 6th 2013 Reply

It is only fraud if you intentionally falsified information about your intentions. If you legitimately intended on living in the first house when you applied for the loan< then you are ok.

On the loan documents you just signed as your primary residence, in order to get the better owner occupied loan terms, you agreed to owner occupy the home for at least one year (read your documents). In the situation you describe, it is unlikely to actually cause any issues - but....

Yeah, that's a Fine line on Fraud. You could always sell it or refinance into an investment loan the property you are in now, but you will need 6 month's payments made on it. If this loan is an FHA you signed a 1 yr Occupancy agreement too. If it is more than 50 miles form your home now, or is in a resort area, you could purchase it as a 2nd home but the whole renting thing on the first is where the problem is.

It's not fraud unless it was premeditated.
