Regarding your post below about the roof...Have you already gotten quotes from contractors? Do you know the approximate age of your roof? I don't know what area you are in, but if you've rough weather recently, it might be worth it to put in a claim with your homeowner's insurance, stating you think you may have storm damage.
You could possibly have some wind/hail damage to your roof, and if so, you could have a large portion of the roofing costs taken care of, or even a new roof entirely. It's worth a shot to potentially save yourselves a lot of money.
Also, when you do turn the home into a rental, be sure you contact your insurance carrier right away and have your policy changed to reflect that. It may save you some money because a landlord endorsement removes coverage for the contents of the home since you no longer live there. I would also make your tenants get renters insurance as part of their lease agreement. That way if you ever have any kind of a serious claim (ie, pipe break, theft, storm, etc) they will have coverage for their contents, and also they will be compensated in case they need to stay at a hotel for a while. The last thing you want is a tenant who thinks you or your insurance company owes them for their belongings, or the cost of a hotel.
Can you tell I'm a claims adjustor? haha.
