With the first time home buyers loan are you required to live in it for a certain time before being able to sell it?

For all your standard loans (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA, USDA), etc, you can sell the home and pay off the loan whenever you want. Lending in SD, MN, and WI - www.MortgagesUnlimited.biz

No, you can sell the home whenever you would like.

Like Joe and Jason said, you can sell at any time.

For all conforming loans, there are no restrictions on when you sell it, but if you say your going to live in it as your primary residence, you must move into the home within 60 to 90 days.. Also, if you purchase a home as "owner occupied", you live in it for 5 months while you fix it up and then you sell it for a profit, and then try to purchase another home as "Owner Occupied", it's possible the lender/underwriter will ask for a letter of explanation since your first purchase which was owner occupied, was actually an investment flip.. ( i actually had this scenario with one of my clients), so if that's your goal, it might work once or twice, but the lender will catch on eventually and require you to purchase as an investment..

Although there are no rules that state you MUST keep the home you purchase for any length of time, it is important you discuss your plans with your lender. Knowing that a buyer is only planning for the short term, can be significant in choosing the best or least costly loan program for a shorter period than you might want if your plans were longer term ownership. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in Arizona (AZLO0911876 / AZBK0902429), Washington (WALO40586 / WACL3087) and California (CADOC40586 / CAFLL6036566).
