Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois
I have a home in Illinois and was directed by military orders to Hawaii where I'm living in government quarters. I'm looking to refinance my home in Illinois, where I will return to live in 2012. Can I still consider my home in Illinois as my primary residence (I am not renting the home and our furniture is still in it - i.e. it's not vacant)? What are the qualification requirements for declaration of a primary residence when directed overseas by the military? thanks.
