Can you use a business loan or grant as a downpayment on a home if...?

Question

your business would be in the basement of the home? What is the best way to handle this if the mortgage is a little higher than you'd like getting started, but in a couple years, it would work out perfect for both home/business?

Answer 1

No. Not in the US. This is true of government grants. A grant from a private foundation might have different rules.
