He is right to make this argument -- it needs to be made! This defense is in all our interests for the good of the system.

Meanwhile, there are reasons why someone can have two primary residences -- like if they buy a house for their parent. I have no idea if this is the situation for Lisa Cook. It does seem sketchy that she has made such data available if it exists. But Abbe Lowell is right that the most important issue here is the malicious nature of the allegations.

Then you can declare it as a second home (not main residence) and pay a higher mortgage rate. She didn’t. You cannot have two main residences. Only one.

Can you cite the law or regulation that says you cannot have two primary residences?

Still waiting for this…

Depends on the context. You can have two primary residences under very limited circumstances. Do those exist here? If not, they're irrelevant.

So there’s no such rule…

Pulte father, stepmother claim dual homestead exemptions in Michigan, Florida
Michigan revokes Pulte exemption after Reuters inquiry
Bill Pulte accuses Fed governor of similar dual residency claims
BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Michigan, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Close relatives of the federal official who has accused a Federal Reserve governor of improperly claiming primary residence on two properties have declared the same status on two homes in two different states, public records show.
Mark and Julie Pulte, the father and stepmother of Bill Pulte, President Donald Trump’s appointee as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, since 2020 have claimed so-called “homestead exemptions” for residences in wealthy neighborhoods in both Michigan and Florida, according to the records. The exemption is meant to give a discount to homeowners on taxes for properties they use as their primary residence.

Where’s 16:37 to excuse this behavior because of the connection to Pulte and thus to Trump and the MAGA GOP?

The guy pulte has to be one of the worst people, the worst actors, the most transparent dou*** I have ever witnessed. I don’t know if he understands that when he speaks, everyone of all political persuasions desperately wants him to shut up

Great article. Interesting the florida property sold for $122 million but Mar A Lago value was $18 million according to Letitia James, which was a huge part of the fraud claim.

Half of Florida is doing this “primary” residence fraud with their original home back in MI, MN, NY, MD, etc.

The blue states need to go hard after auditing this. Why give these people any quarter?

[Anonymous]

Just because others do it and don’t get caught does not meant it’s not fraud. Can I drive drunk because others have and never got caught?

The club is valued for what it is . . . Mar-a-lago. A private membership club. Tax-exempt that cannot be further developed. It cannot be turned into a private residence. so it is valued as such. What's the problem?

Depends on the context. You can have two primary residences under very limited circumstances. Do those exist here? If not, they're irrelevant.

So there’s no such rule…

Absent those limited circumstances, the IRS and lending rules don't allow you to indicate two primary residences. You can hold two primary residence mortgages (secured far apart), but those aren't the facts here.

Do your own research (took me 5 minutes) before trying to play "gotcha" on an anonymous message board. Then again, you probably know the answer already but are waiting to pounce on anyone who tries to explain the rules to you.

+1. If MAGA wants to go after people for residency fraud, they can bring it. I bet they will ensnare more Republicans in their net

Correct. It’s actually against the special zoning exception that Trump sought for him to live there.

Seems like that would have to be very rare. “Primary” means primary - by definition, not two.

Sean Duffy, SECDOT, Lori Chavez-DeRemer SEC DOL, Lee Zeldin SEC EPA, Mark Meadows former WH COS all have second and third mortgages listed as their primary addresses, but Pulte doughboy has not forwarded their names to DOJ for investigation. And how could I forget that Texas scoundrel running for US Senate. Add his name to the list.

Yes Paxton has three primary residences.

pulte’s father and stepmother have done the same thing.

The primary residence requirement only lasts for 1 year. Duffy and Chavez-DeRemer are off the hook as those purchases were years apart along with other factors. Zeldin's is a bit more dicey and could result in a reworking of the financing if it was self reported. There is no record of Meadows only a 2nd property but it was confused with a mobile home property long ago straightened out.

“Primary residence” has different purposes for different laws. For mortgage underwriting you are correct that having had a primary residence on the loan app does not mean you can never move and keep the older property while financing a new primary residence. But for taxes and exemptions, and other government benefits tied to address (like schools), you generally cannot have two “primaries” under any circumstances.
