You will NEVER cash flow while living there but have a chance of cash flowing when you move out.

I assume you’ve got a loan that says you will be living there.

The right message to the right audience.Then marketing is all about value.Unless we know what exactly it is who you are targeting, it will be hard to help.Short-term rentals?

With the numbers you provided above, you will have to ensure you have healthy reserves.

The “hot tub show” models will work, but you will do more work on them in the end.  

$1,500-$1,600 is about the going rate for a 2/2 in most average areas of BR, but I can see where some neighborhoods would get more.Another thing to think about - if the property is sitting vacant right now and you have ready and willing (and qualified) tenants, then the opportunity cost of waiting an extra month or two is $1,550/month.

Cause an appraisal will cap you then. 

It will still be reported on your personal tax return.

@Joe Michaels, What a lot of investors will do is to use the 1031 exchange as @Michael Plaks said, isto actually "acquire" additional depreciable basis. 

In fact there are quite a few sellers who will opt to go with a different buyer solely because they don't want to deal with the perceived headaches of a VA buyer underwriting process.
