Me and my partner moved from Utah to Maryland for school recently and we have a townhouse that we are looking to rent. we are currently remodeling and changing a few things before renting. what are the first steps to change my primary to a rental I lived there for about two years.

There is a perfect recipe brewing where inventory is at an all time low, with interest rates significantly higher than we're use to, capitalized by the insane economic struggles that are going on in our every day lives.... 

House hacking is an incredible way to live affordably while building wealth through real estate.

Selling would likely trigger capital gains taxes (unless you lived in the property for two out of the last five years or use a 1031 exchange).

GeGe property i have both in jacksonville Florida but i live in Palm bay Fl so it like 3 hr away ....     

If you are comfortable living with roommates, a SFH househack could be the move for you.

The property has to be considered 'in service' for you to list it on your tax return.In service entails a couple of items such as1) The property is in livable condition - Working bathroom, kitchen and an area to live.2) The property was advertised for rent.Best of luck

Relocate existing kitchen to living space."

Investment property (not primary residence) It's the industry standard if you're not going to live there.

A lot of qualifying questions for any potential tenant.Having said the above, I ask for some "standard" things, such as the names of everyone who'll be living at the unit.
