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.

Would need to know about locations of your buildings and current rents to see if there is anything that can be done now to get numbers a bit better.

Read the NC general statute on wholesaling and ask frequent questions to the real estate commission.

Strip the floor to the subfloor and paint over it to stain block then just recarpet or put in vinyl to mitigate future stains. 

You’ll pay more for tax prep, more for record keeping, more for financing but what will you get?

An appraiser is not going to use single family homes on the appraisal if they do the bank/lenders Underwriter 100% will ask for more comps that are mobile/manufactured to be compared to subject property.

That's going to eat your lunch.

My question is, if I was to proceed with the Subject To deal, will this somehow be discovered?

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.
