Primary Residence Loans

A person’s primary residence is the dwelling where they live, typically a house or a condo. A person can only have one primary residence at any given time, though they may share the residence with other people.

A primary residence is considered as a legal residence for the purpose of income tax and/or acquiring a mortgage.

Other Frequently Asked Questions About Obtaining a Primary Residential Mortgage

You can find answers to popular questions about primary residence loans below. If you still have questions, head to our Frequently Asked Questions page or give us a call.

What Is a Primary Residence?

When buying or selling a home, the primary residence is the home a buyer plans to inhabit most of the time. It can be a single-family home, a duplex, a condo, or any other type of residential property!

For your home to qualify as your primary property for a primary residential mortgage, you must live there most of the time, and it must be a reasonable commuting distance from work unless you are a verified remote employee. You must occupy the home within 60 days once closing is finalized.

Can I Obtain a Primary Home Residence Loan for My Vacation Home?

Only one property can be classified as your primary residence. If you are married, both spouses must have the same primary residence. Second homes and investment properties do not qualify for a primary home loan.

How Can I Verify My Residence for a Primary Residential Mortgage?

You’ll be asked to provide the following information when applying for a primary home loan:

  • Tax Return – What address is listed on your federal tax returns?
  • U.S. Mail – Where does the U.S. Postal Service deliver your mail?
  • Personal ID – What address is on your Driver’s License or State ID card?
  • Voting Registration – Where are you registered to vote?
Can Primary Residence Loans Be Paid Off Early?
