You live with your parents (a very cool thing from this dad's perspective) and the DC property is your investment.You can establish that DC residence as your primary residence by moving in. 

@Elbert Dockery Cool.

I have a few cool things I provide my sellers too.

You might only be a couple blocks from the nice area, but it is still close enough where the hipsters want to live there because its cool. 

The cooling part of the HVAC system totally died about a year ago (HVAC can still heat house). 

If you have fair credit, verifiable rental history and consistent income you can easily secure FHA financing in Houston and the inner city is the ideal place to house hack because of it's proximity to all the cool and trendy places downtown along with the major universities and Med Center.

So much for a cooling off of the Tampa area real estate market!

Examples include depreciation, amortization, and business use of home.And here's a cool thing, thanks to tax reform: 100% bonus depreciation. 

I dont have problems with drafts in the house or have any inefficient heating or cooling bills.I got a quote to repair all the siding and repaint everything for $7500.Does this increase the value of my house when I go to sell it?

For example there is some cool development going on in the south part of that zip code, but other areas are rough.Let me know if I can be of any other help.
