Wondering about keeping primary residence for rental property

[Luke Angstadt]

Hey everyone. I’m in the very beginning stage of my real estate journey and was wondering about getting started by keeping my current primary residence as a rental instead of selling. My family and I are looking to move soon (within the next year or two) and was wondering if I did keep it, how would that effect us with a purchase of a new home through the lenders eyes. How do they look at balancing two mortgages, ect??? Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
