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

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.

Lenders will want a letter from your employer that states you are allowed to work remote from where you currently live and that this move will not affect your income. 

They just live T get you to apply and paper appraisals.

This is where you live in one side.

Are you saying you want to STR rooms in the unit you are living in?

I have improved fair rental value and value by increasing the kitchen size; adding an island tearing down walls between the kitchen and dining area and living area, etc.It all depends on the particular property. 

Selling may trigger capital gains tax, but if you lived there for two of the last five years, you may qualify for a Section 121 exclusion.

I've had several Section 8 tenants in Columbus and enjoy the program overall.
