@Fabio CattolicoFrom my experience, balancing career growth, cost of living, and real estate goals is a smart move.

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.

I live in Farmington Hills.

You have the ability to sell while limiting your capital gains tax because you lived in 2 of the last 5 years. 

Another idea for housing economy if you have an office is to rig your office to live in but not sleep in. 

As for the areas to target, my goal in getting our feet wet as real estate investors--and since we plan to be living in Sac--is to find a property we can live in while renting out one or more units to help cover our housing expenses, which we can then hold and continue to rent out when we move.

Does USAA know that you are living in it?

The current owner lives there and had someone paying to a trailer in the back yard all the way in the back.
