You will get to keep your low mortgage interest rate on your current property, and will still be able to use the benefits of a primary residence (lower down payment, lower mortgage interest rate) on your next purchase, as long as you have stayed in your current home for 1 year or longer (and there some exceptions to this as well).

No exceptions for lot line coverage as an example.
