I have a Google account that I use when I manage the Nest devices at my residence. I have a second Google account that I use to manage the Nest devices at a rental property. Can I move the rental property “home” to my other Google account so I can manage both homes without logging in/out with my different Google accounts?

Hi Sachelis,
Thanks for reaching out to the Community. I’d be happy to help you with your question. Let’s check it out.
It is possible to create a second home structure under your primary Google account, designating it as your rental property home. Then, you can link your devices into this newly created rental property home, enabling you to effortlessly manage both under the same Google account.
It's important to note that transferring Nest devices from one Google account to another usually requires a device reset. This process will delete all existing data and settings from the device. You can check out the guides below for more information:
Let me know if you have any other questions.
All the best,

So the answer is, you can create multiple homes under one Google account, but you can't move a home from one Google account to another. I ended up deleting the home from my second Google account, deleting that home, resetting the devices, adding an additional home under my primary Google account, and adding the reset devices to it.

Hey everyone,
@Sachelis, Certainly, Nest devices can be transferred to a separate Nest account. However, note that the home structure associated with a particular Nest account cannot be transferred to a different one.
@SD-Alamuddin,If you've removed the camera from your Nest account and performed a factory reset, you don't need to migrate your Nest account. Instead, you can simply add the camera to the Google account where your Nest thermostat is already added. Here is a link on how to restart or factory reset Nest camera or doorbell .
Let me know if you have additional questions.
Best,

I have 2 houses, one is a "nest acct" and has one camera
Other acct.. is a google acct and has 2 nest stats, I just setup.
How can I take the Nest acct device and transfer that acct to the google acct. but different home?
Do I need to migrate the Nest acct to another email, google and then transfer over to the acct I want?
