Yes, you can eventuraly live in the home you originally purchased to be used as a rental. The rule is: You can buy the home and derive income from it for as long as you like, even live in it for no more than 2 weeks per year. This is fine for vacation homes purchased for income. You can deduct all costs of the home and the expense of visitation (air travel, auto rental etc.) but you must show a profit (and pay some taxes) in any 2 of the 5 years of ownership for all your decuctions to be allowed by Uncle Sam. When you decide to move into it as your legal residence, you should show a change of ownership (from commercial to residential) so the IRS will know it will no longer be used s a commercial property. You also could transfer the title to a trust, naming yourself as the Trustee, and occupy the home; paying rent to break even. You'll get more details at: www.usefulpublishing.info and through your attorney. Good Luck!
