The main reason for the two years is that it gives enough time to pay off some of the loan, and build enough equity to actually make at least a small profit. Also AZ has a law that if you sell your house before living in it for two years, they consider it "investing" and make you claim it as income, and must pay taxes on it as such.
Yeah, you could buy rental, but that would be alot of liability if you had to move on short notice. I'm not knockin' the rental idea, under certain circumstances, it may be worth it though.
