No - you have to live there. Homestead exemption is for primary properties only.Warm regards,Kim Jones-ZweigSenior Mortgage BankerFidelity Bank Mortgage3490 Piedmont Road, Suite 750Atlanta, GA 30305p: 678.468.4046 | f: 678.829.0612e: kim.jones@lionbank.comw: www.kimdjones.com

I would speak with your accountant or CPA - you can claim in various different ways depending on your filing status etc.
