Looking for guidance on property lived in first then renting
Looking for help in evaluating a home I purchased and lived in for 2 years. In the military at the time and moved. Decided to rent. Now having joined Bigger Pockets I want to see if what I have is a good deal and not sure how to figure out. Please let me know how to do this.
