I'm being relocated out of state and I was going to rent out my primary, but found out my housing allowance will be voided if I do, so essentially I have to keep it empty if I want to get it...and I definitely want to get it as it will easily pay for the place and my new place.But here's my situation, I'd like to donate the use of the property to my church to use as a mission house.

Anything else is gravy I wasn't counting on.This is total return including cash flow.
