Forced to rent my first home

[Joseph Lynch III]

I literally just found this site two days ago. I moved to a city for a job and bought my first house with my wife. Within 6 months, we were forced to move because of my job. Not being able to sell without taking a huge loss, we started renting it. I'm now wondering if I did something wrong after reading some posts here because although we bought the property with the intention of living in it, and did so for 6 months, we are renting it before the 1 year rule. I changed my insurance, but I don't know if I ever did anything with the mortgage company. Should I notify them of the change? How should I go about it?
