Should I sell my breakeven rental?
I purchased a fixer upper through a wholesaler in March 2021. After more repairs and expenses than expected, i could not sell the house for a profit. The house would not appraise. So instead, I refinanced, pulled out ~50% of my invested capital and rented it out. Since September, it has been breaking even. If it was located in a fast appreciating neighborhood, I’d be okay with the zero cashflow. However, I am thinking it is a better play to sell, get back most of my capital, suffer a small/minimal loss, and reinvest the cash into a different, faster appreciating market.
Are there any other options I should I be considering? Should I sell or hold? Appreciate everyone’s advice!
