Your starting depreciable basis should have been the LOWER of what you paid or the FMV in 2010 when you converted it to a condo. 

Once you convert the former investment property to your primary residence you will then start to convert a proration of the gain from tax-deferred to tax free (according to the number of years it was rented/lived in). 

 just start generating leads and start talking to people and when you’re not doing that educate yourself also hire a mentor just basically get active..

This will help out tremendously when I start shopping for an agent.

Could you please suggest how I can start and what steps I should take?

That being said, if you're 23 and you don't own a home, I really do recommend starting with a house hack as you don't need the 25% down capital to get started and you kill 2 birds with one stone by getting a rental and having a roof over your head. 

Slow start but hoping to gain momentum.

In the end I refinanced THE DAY rates bottomed and they immediately started going back up.

Each room will have a separate lease on it with a separate deposit following normal property management practices, and like you said, the leases have different start dates. 

I'm still learning, but I'm glad I started investing in more real estate.
