In 12 months we are planning to move back to Michigan so that my daughter can go to college, we can be closer to family. I am an only child with a single parent (mom) and while my mom is not technically sick she is definitely a different person and needs me near her. We were told we would have to rent our current house for 12 mos in order to buy our primary residence in MI. Our goal was to get renter to sign a 24 month lease. It is June 2010 and we want to get the renter now and move to an apt here in nc while we wait for my daughter to graduate high school. But if we don't need the 12 month history we wouldn't bother moving now. So confused as to what to do. Pls help.

As far as I can understand, you will have to provide the 12 months rental history in order to purchase a primary residence in Michigan. Unless you do so, the property in Michigan won't be considered as your primary property. Feel free to ask if you've further queries. Sussane

Helen, the only reason you would need to show a history of the rental income is if you need that income to qualify for the new home. If your debt to income ratio is in line with guidelines you can absolutely buy a new home as a primary residence. _________________ Nic Netherton Mortgage Banker Cornerstone Mortgage Co Fort Collins, CO 80525 Nic Netherton Loans 970-226-2992 My Daily Rate Sheet

Buying now is probably a bit risky in Michigan right now anyway. _________________ Nic Netherton Mortgage Banker Cornerstone Mortgage Co Fort Collins, CO 80525 Nic Netherton Loans 970-226-2992 My Daily Rate Sheet
