@Brittany RogersonYes, you would want to work with a fee based or fee only financial/wealth advisor both have advantages over a traditional advisor.

Borrower shall occupy, establish, and use the Property as Borrower’s principal residence within 60 days after the execution of this Security Instrument and shall continue to occupy the Property as Borrower’s principal residence for at least one year after the date of occupancy, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or unless extenuating circumstances exist which are beyond Borrower’s control.So you have one instrument saying it is Primary and the other saying it is Investment.
