I don't know if you plan to buy another home as aprimary residence and finance the purshase but let me give you the lenders prespective. You will probably have to qulaify with that mortgage payment and the new one because of rules put into effect last year.

1. A conventional loans require that you have 6 moths reserves to cover both payments and 30% equity in the property being rented.

2. FHA requires only the 6 months reserves or you are moving because of job change/relocation.

When cosidering converting your primary residence to a rental you'll want to consider some of the following:

- inform your mortgage holder to determine if there is any ramifications
- inform you home owner's insurance carrier that home will no longer be a primary residence
- contact your city regarding property rentals - some areas require restering the property and charging a rental sales tax you'll need to know about these laws and proper procedures
- contact your state to obtain information on their Landlord & Tenant Act
- strongly consider purchasing a home warranty to cover the premises and appliances
- consider visiting and interviewing your local real estate professional that specializes in rentals for counsel and assistance - property management company

Good luck and best wishes in your new home!

You should consider contacting a Property Management Company in Jackson, GA.

It would be the smart thing to notify your Mortgage and Insurance company to find out what is required of you.

Don`t get me wrong I am very Optimstic, but what happens if your new renters burn the place down?

Good Luck
