Post: Second home vs Investment property

Posted by wahoobie on 5/28/09
Hello. My mother is applying to assume the mortgage of a house owned by an uncle for 10 years who hasn't been living there for the past few years (because he got married and moved elsewhere). The only person who lives at this house is my aunt RENT-FREE. This house is also less than one mile from my mother's primary residence. Can my mother claim the other house as a SECOND HOME (not an investment property)? We do not plan to rent it out. My aunt will continue to live there rent-free.
