My wife is currently working on getting her real estate license with the primary intention of aiding our own real estate investment activities. 

I've used the house flipping calculator here on bigger pockets, although I'm thinking the nubmers would change a little big given the fact that it would be my primary residence for a minimun of 2 years.

Ill keep digging into that to find the best platform to utilize. 

I would recommend the gel in addition to using boric acid (both tablets and powder).There were a few roached in my primary when I first bought it. 

Was you first property a conventional loan as a primary residence? 

Or you may be referring to local incentives (usually state or city based grants = free money) for communities that need people to buy primary residence in order to stabilize the town.

As some of the others stated, there is a 1 year primary residence requirement.

For a primary residence I always recommend cash or financing, not leasing. 

You can rent your primary home for up to 14 days a year tax free. 

You do have to have a primary.
