Hey James,That’s a solid question, and I’ve seen this scenario come up quite a bit.

You have limited appreciation and often the taxes go up later and shortfall the cash flow expectation.Rent-ready for you would also mean live-ready, but by having two residences and two short-term options when you are not there, you are creating a lot of upkeep and maintenance on both that will be very hard to manage.You were the first one to say the word "Columbus" 🧐 ?

The tenant at least stands to lose their home.

I wish to make it official and get them on a lease. 

It checks all the boxes to be legal - 2 egresses, windows, 7' ceilings, bathroom, full kitchen, etc. 

I grew up in Northern California and Reno was a very logical choice. 

Any ideas as to how I should approach.

Anyway, if you're ever curious about exploring opportunites in Phoenix or Austin, I'd love to chat.

I’m moving to Atlanta Georgia from Louisiana and going to buy my first property to house hack.

Needs to be more inspiring and modern.
