🏠 Thinking about turning your home into a rental? It’s a popular way to dip your toes into real estate investing, but don’t overlook the tax implications.
If you’ve lived in your home for at least 2 out of the last 5 years, you could sell it and exclude up to $500k in profits (if married). Turn it into a rental, and that window starts closing fast.
Run the numbers, account for hidden costs, and consult a tax expert before making the leap.
