Can I rent a unit in a 2 family from myself?

[James K.]

I own 3, 3 families town houses in Brooklyn that are used solely as investment properties. I plan to buy a 2 family that seems like a good deAl and good property. My question: can I set it up as a rental property like my other 3 then rent one of the units from myself (and the other unit  free market) and take advantage of depreciation etc? 

I am reading a lot of conflicting information on the matter. Would love some more input! 

Thanks
