DO NOT CHANGE THE DESIGNATION OF YOUR PRIMARY RESIDENCE!!!
Some people are under the impression that being able to claim your mortgage interest is the best tax choice for your property, but when you change the designation from primary to rental, you lose the tax free status. If you sell it after changing it to a rental, you must pay capital gains tax on the property when you sell it. Depending on your location, it could cost you $100K ++++.
Unless you are planning on leaving the country, or move into a more expensive house and use that as your primary residence, changing your residence to rental status will result in great financial hardship when you sell it.

You have to have a primary residence, so first change the primary residence, and you will then be able to turn this to rental property. Good luck

Nope. That canine won't hunt. between different issues, once you substitute assets from place of abode to condominium, your foundation is the decrease of the unique foundation or the FMV once you substitute it. The presumptive FMV would be what you bought it for, consequently no earnings or loss. earnings or loss on disposal of condominium assets isn't based upon the passive earnings or loss in the previous reported. the quantity of non-deductible passive losses in past years will impression the quantity of earnings or loss (reduces earnings, will advance loss) yet no longer having had any condominium earnings interior the present twelve months won't impression your earnings or loss. in case you "convert" the valuables and then sell it, the IRS is going to question your purpose based upon the info. in case you attempt to declare a loss, they're going to disallow it in a heartbeat. in case you're reporting a earnings they gained't gripe, yet of direction you may have been in a place to avert tax on the earnings had you bought it as your significant place of abode in case you otherwise qualify to exclude the earnings on the sale of a private place of abode. exceedingly sturdy definition of taking photographs ones self interior the foot, IMHO.
