Does your mortgage rate change if you start renting?

Thinking about refinancing. I’ll most likely be in this house another 5 years or so. But it’s an ideal house to rent when I decide to move.
Does my rate change if it’s no longer my primary residence?

If done legally, yes.
So will home insurance rates, which you want to protect yourself.

Most mortgages I've had state you have to live in the house for 12 months and I have lived in them then moved out and rented it. The big thing, at least for me, is you can't claim the homestead exemption on your property taxes and the county can raise your taxes to market rate every year. Whereas your homestead can only be raised a certain percent each year. So i pay out the ying-yang in property taxes.

So what happens in 5 years when I make it a rental?
I notify the mortgage company and they adjust the rate?

Your rate stays the same. Ignore everyone else.

Typically if you stay a year you can do what you want. But your property taxes will go up.

Mortgage rates don’t change for the length of the mortgage if it’s a fixed rate. Doesn’t matter if you rent later.

No, but if you’re goin to refi, do it before it turns into an investment property. Rates are higher for those.

Well I’m probably going to do it now.
Just thinking things through. Would be kind of pointless to refi if my rate would go up in a few years anyways. Since it’s not, don’t see why I wouldnt
