“Dear PoP,
I’m thinking of possibly renting out my studio condo in a couple years and possibly moving out to the Arlington or some other area where I can rent a bigger place for myself. I still have a mortgate on my condo. To be honest, the prospect of renting it out and all the potential IRS hassle that comes with it (depreciating the property, deducting condo dues, etc.) scares me a bit, possibly enough to avoid the whole process, especially since I’ve always done my own taxes. Is it less scary than it seems? Is a tax attorney necessary to handle this scenario or would TurboTax or similar software suffice? I envision my overall federal/DC income taxes going up if I make this move since mortgage interest/tax deductions would now be used to counteract rental income.”
For those who rent out your condo and/or house – how difficult is it re: taxes and in general? In your experiences would you recommend it or if it is feasible would suggest trying to sell first?

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
