  I believe you are keeping the first home. If so, you own two homes. Of &lt;br&gt; course you will call the new home your primary residence, but you &lt;br&gt; won&#39;t be living there for a long time based on all the work &lt;br&gt; contemplated. The rules I read were not comprehensive enough to be &lt;br&gt; sure of eligibility. You must have checked them out already.

  That&#39;s because most people try to &amp;quot;hide&amp;quot; their mistakes. Sort of &lt;br&gt; like how people brag about it when they do well in the stock market, but &lt;br&gt; don&#39;t mention it to people when they lose money on a stock. &lt;br&gt; Rather than hiding mine, I enjoy writing, learning and hearing the &lt;br&gt; opinions of others on how they would deal with a similar situation.
