I provided a free rent back for 2 weeks so the seller could get her funds and relocate.

If it doesn't happen often you could roll the dice and always convert back to a LTR if you had to.

A contractor left a back door open one day and someone walked into the house and stole $2000 worth of tools.

Tenant gets their deposit back when their lease is officially/legally over.

IF you plan on going back someday, and this is the home you want to move back to, then renting it would be a good idea as long as you estimate that it will cover itself, or preferably, cash flow, which it appears that yours will at @ $2K or so per month (after expenses). 

I bet if converted BACK, it would be 4br+, probably a rather spacious 4br+: - a whole lot easier to rent given much more demand for such vs efficiency or 1brs- no longer competing in any way against apartments- no more utility issues, because tenants cover 100% of there own utilaties- no more headaches of wrangling different persons to play nice togetherAnd on and on and on...... 

Lenders dont allow seller carry back and NO cash equity.. 

“Your success is only because you started back in 2025 when prices were lower, it was easier, etc etc.
