I could definitely do that, but since I've recently gotten the real estate bug, I was just considering converting it to a rental, as another option. 

The true value of you money outside of the house is equal to at least 5 times what it is inside that house...and this is any house...your own home or a rental.Once you commit to your house being converted into a rental, you must forget it was ever your house (I didn't way that part would be easy), and start treating it for what it is now...a rental.

Front end : Less Revenue thus less tax payment , Back end: Stronger Balance sheet by converting debt into equity. 

My wife and I are moving to the area and are looking to buy a 3bd/2ba (<2K SqFt) detached house that we can convert into a rental within a year or two, just the time for us to know the market better before we buy our (more permanent) primary residence.

The main home is a 3/2 bath 1,456sqft, and the 2 car garage has been converted to a 1bd 1bath.

Does anyone have a good script that converts well?

It's currently a two-story shell that we're going to convert to a 3 story triplex with higher-end finishes given that's what the area supports.

Otherwise, it can be very costly to convert after the fact.  

At least on PPC it's your website that ultimately would convert somebody to being a customer and not someone else's website.
