That wouldn't be a problem if we were planning on staying for the next 10 years but eventually, my fiancé and I would like to buy our own private house.One upside is that appreciation is quite strong in the market I'm looking at, however, I don't know if I would want to rely on that.

Once there a plan developed .

I'm planning to start renting out my primary residence and would like to quitclaim transfer the deed into an LLC (just me and my wife).
