below market rent to family member in paid off property- yes dumb

Hi, here is my dilemma.  

i have a paid off property that i've been "renting" to a family member since 2014.  file a schedule e every year and take depreciation but thinking that may be wrong.  since the property is paid off, i only pay for and deduct the property tax, hoa  and depreciation.

can i- claim the property as a second home instead, stop taking depreciation and stop reporting the below market rent as income?  i don't have a mortgage and family member does own minor repairs.  

i want to sell the property in the near future- 1 to 4 years.  i'd rather stop taking the yearly depreciation and avoid the depreciation recapture.

i have a regular w-2 job and another triplex that i do manage and rent at market rate.
