Turning a primary residence into a rental

[Scott Eakes]

Is it possible to buy a house with a low down payment conventional mortgage, live in it for a few years then buy another home(primary residence) and keep the original as a rental?

I understand a investment property mortgage would require a higher down payment. Just wondering if anyone has done something like this and if it is possible.

Newbie here, thanks for any help!!
