Again, it all boils down to the fact that “primary residence” on mortgage paperwork does *not* mean the same thing as “primary residence” on Florida voter eligibility and homestead exemption papers. Words mean what they’re defined to mean in the law, not what common sense says they mean. That’s how law *works*.

That said, this dude is accused of having two “primary residence” mortgages within a 12 month period, which is, well, illegal.

That’s as may be but it doesn’t address Florida laws concerning voter eligibility and the homestead exemption. The Feds and their laws may allow more than one primary residence, but Florida doesn’t. The homes of Congresscritters in DC have to be listed as “vacation homes” if purchased, so you don’t call them primary residences on any paperwork unless you withdraw your claim for a homestead exemption.

Okay, here’s the deal. “Primary residence” for mortgage purposes does *not* mean the same thing as “primary residence” for voting / representation purposes. It is quite legal to claim one residence as your primary residence for mortgage purposes and another residence as your primary residence for voting / representation purposes. Otherwise there isn’t a single Congressman who would qualify for office, because they spend more time in DC than they spend in their district. What is *not* legal is to take out two mortgages as “primary residence” mortgages within a one year period.

For mortgage purposes, you must sleep the majority of the days in a year in that primary residence. Quite obviously you cannot do that on two homes simultaneously, and if you claim to do so, it’s fraud, and if it’s a federally backed loan, it’s Federal fraud. Courts especially frown upon doing this with multi-unit housing. It’s legal to buy a four-plex and live in one unit as your primary residence for mortgage purposes, but you must actually have your head on a frickin’ pillow there for the majority of nights in a year. If you don’t, the mortgage company can foreclose, can refer you to law enforcement, or both.

Now, practically speaking, the mortgage company doesn’t really care as long as they get their money. We’re talking about an industry that created the “liar loan”, after all. Still, if you’re caught, it’s bad news.

Mario is a real jerk. A good woman is running against him, and should win if people wake up to what these crooks are costing them. If you can afford condos in South Florida and Washington, DC you can afford to pay your taxes. If he claims the condo in DC as his primary residence he isn’t eligible to be a Congresscritter from Florida.

No problem Bryan. No response needed, just letting you know where I’m at. I understand how busy you are. Good luck with the tenants! At least I don’t have that to deal with. Small mercies… 😉 😆

I’ll answer later as I’m tied up leading new tenants through their first hurricane routine. It’s a hemorrhoid.

Yep. GOP have been wanting to stack the SC with puppets for over 2 decades. they finally succeeded. Only hope now is that a full & formal investigation is launched, and if it does indeed show Kavanaugh has no moral character and broke US State/Federal laws, the Dem’s may have grounds for impeachment. Same for the other GOP appointees.

Mom died 20 yrs ago because her GP was a lazy careless bastard. instead of her having a chest X-ray & scan for signs of cancer annually (because she was in a high-risk group), he made it every two years. When it was discovered she had lung cancer, it was too late to operate to remove the tumor. if she’d had the scan a year earlier, they would have been able to. She may still not have survived, but her chances would have been far higher. My previous GP the past year was like him. Lazy and; careless. Also an immigrant with dubious training. The Gov. here have been relaxing standard’s & training over the past 25+ years. This is the result.

I’ve finally managed to get some R&R and my head isn’t as full of wool and so easily distracted for the 1st time in over a year. I’m sure it won’t last long. Finally managed to get some work done on my blog! 😆 I must say, the latest cPanel v74 is so much better! Has everything including the Kitchen sink (metaphorically of course!)

I installed WP 4.9.8 with Multisite enabled (was easier than the last time I tried that a couple years ago) and PHP 7.2. Using the Elegant Themes DIVI theme as it’s very easy to configure and modify & comes with some very useful features for me. Even got SSH & SSL/TLS working fine (last time had a lot of trouble via cPanel). I have a generous 30 GB of SSD storage space and u/l bandwidth, so I can easily play with setting up a few other sites via Multisite to test the viability of the theme/plugins etc. That’s mainly for some friends that want to host a blog but have zero technical ability! 😉

Currently @ my k42 domain – kryten42[dot]com in the WP test directory /wp — Nothing much to see yet. Just playing with plugins and theme config in another (non-public) test dir. 😀

My domain and hosting service is reg’d until 2022, so I have plenty of time! 😆

I can’t spend more than 1 hour or so as a time before getting tired, but that’s a lot better than a couple weeks ago.

The Repubs lied and cheated their way to install a lying mean drunk who may be a rapist on the Supreme Court, which means that instead of starting the impeachment of sociopath in the White House, a Democratic Congress needs to impeach Kavanaugh who wasn’t qualified for the Court of Appeals and certainly wasn’t qualified for the Supreme Court.

Susan Collins is old news and will probably be retired when her term ends in 2020.

It is bad enough to have to deal with the weaknesses of your own body without having to fight with the bureaucracy to get well. I have been lucky so far, but it was a full time job keeping my Mother’s doctors from killing her before her time. The assholes don’t read patient’s charts, and don’t understand interactions between drugs.

Sen. Collins did as expected. Waffled on a lot, pretended to be thinking about her decision & will vote for Kavanaugh. Apparently, Susan Rice is now thinking about running against Collins. *shrug* OT: I came across this WP article Bryan. Could be useful for you maybe? They also have some useful free tools too. :) Hidden Wordpress Options Page My own health is finally improving after my surgery a few weeks ago... Actually, about 4 weeks now! Time does fly. I spent the past few weeks after I got home running around fixing problems the Hospital caused (again), my previous GP caused, & the Gov. caused (as I expected) instead of *resting* as I was supposed to. *shrug* My new GP gave me a Med Cirt. until Oct. 31st. So that will help I hope. We're working on figuring out some other issues I have, finally!
