I am not sure where exactly this property is, but this is an example of why I prefer B class neighborhoods or better when looking for rental properties. 

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.

Quote from @Sumarde Kristoff: im 16 and i wanna learn more about this business, it really inspires me like i wanna do it, so i joined here to learn more about it so in the future it will be easy for me. so what should i learn first?

Carlos, I am from Spokane and I house hacked the first 4 years I lived here.  

I had a few questions and would appreciate any advice in general.Strategy / Goal: BRRRR but no major rehab at first to lower the risk.

My first question would be why $275K?

I would look at the DSCR loan as the first option.By the way, I suspect you are going to be disappointed by any refi appraisals   ADUs typically appraise poorly   JADUs can lower the property value Vs having the space as part of the primary unit.  

Congratulations on your first investment purchase! 

I'm looking to sell my first home, which I've been renting out for the last 2 1/2 years -- I first contacted my property management company  for seller services, and they initially wanted a year exclusive selling rights.

I'm looking at Class B properties in up-and-coming neighborhoods and plan to self-manage once I relocate.
