I am in the same situation. I am trying to understand what depreciation is and how this will affect me when I sell the house in the future. The information above clear some of my questions and if I understand right, I can take advance now and deduct the depreciation of my house while this one is rented or not do anything (not take advantage of this) . No matter what I chose I will have to deal with depreciation when I sell the house, right?
The part I don't fully understand is how exactly is going to affect me when I sell the house. For example, if I rent my house for 3 years, then move back and live it (make it my primary house) for 2 years before I decide I want to sell it, what the impact will be when I sell it?Am i going to pay taxes for the depreciation?
