I own a roofing company in the area, and have a couple of rentals in FL, along with my full time residence.

The residence used to be my primary residence.

or Your primary residence?

2nd mortgage HELOC ARM secured by your primary residence will have ballpark comparable rates to 30 year fixed, but it's an ARM.2nd mortgage fixed will have rates way higher than a vanilla 30 yr fixed first mortgage, but still below hard money, for most scenarios. 

So I've got a newbie question - Let's say I have my current primary residence and then I find a new home that I want to buy as my new primary residence.

The basement is leased for 6 months at $1150/month.I can get a 5% down mortgage for a primary residence so this would be after living in the unit a couple months and than changing it into a rental. 

I am currently employed as an engineer and working on paying of my first home.My plan is to finish paying off my primary residence before moving on to conservative buy and hold investment in a couple nearby cities. 

One of the things I do is give every potential resident a copy of the application process which outlines exactly what we use in our screening process.A few still set up appointments, but most who wouldn't qualify stop communicating as soon as they realize we actually do check these things.For those who do decide they'd like to look it over, it might actually take a little more effort to get them to sign the lease.
