I am researching what, if any, affect changing my house from primary residence to a rental property would have on my mortgage. Will it increase my rate or am I locked in (I have a fixed rate) no matter if I live there or not? Do I have to tell the mortgage company that I have even moved? JUst looking for some guidance. I know I need to change my insurance policy to a rental dwelling, but I'm not sure what other changes I will need. I'm having trouble finding the answers. Thanks!

What type of mortgage do you have? With FHA, it has to be your primary residence, but with conventional it does not. I am not sure about VA though.

no one can change the terms of the mortgage without your consent.

If your mortgage was only a few months old, the lender could cry foul.

Go forth and prosper in real estate.
