Here's a question for you - let's say you move out of your first house hack after year 1 and start a second house hack in year 2 while renting out the first home. If you then decide to sell that first house later on, are you able to reap the benefits of selling a primary residence even though you're not living it in any more? Technically it was a primary residence at one point and is still a primary residence loan. Not sure how that works. 

The benefits I am specifically referring to is the up to $250k or $500k (if filing taxes as a couple) tax free profit when selling a primary residence. 

Thank you!
