You are giving up to $250k ($500k) tax free profit from the sale of your primary residence. If you turn it into a rental, you have a lower depreciable base and you just gave up a huge tax free gain. If you really want a rental, sell the house and then turn around a buy a rental for what you just sold your primary residence for.
Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks for the advice!
You can regain your favorable tax position again if you wish. Have to live in it 3of the past 5 years or something like that, I might be a little foggy on that it's been awhile since I've looked into that.
