Hold or Sell
Should I keep my rentals w/ mortgages or sell them and reinvest $$$ on cheaper rentals w/ no mortgage.
I own 3 rental properties w/ 3 mortgages....
I am trying to figure out if it is better to keep my 3 properties or sell and invest the proceeds into cheaper rentals. I have a mortgage w/ each property and selling them will pay off all mortgages and bring in $100k+ to reinvest.
I currently have 13 yrs left on mortgages @ 4% fixed rates
Income:
3 current properties income = $5300/mo
Expenses:
PITI = $3960/mo (principle paydown = $2100/mo)
Prop Management = $530/mo
Repairs = $530/mo
Vacancy = $530/mo
Total expenses = $5550/mo
NOI:
($250)/mo or ($3k)/yr
That means I pay $250/mo out of pocket but I get $2100/mo in principle paydown...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I sold the 3 properties I would have $100k after all closing costs etc to reinvest into real estate. I can get 3 cheap rentals @ $33k/each - rents $800/mo each.
Income: 3 new properties x $800/mo = $2400/mo
Expenses:
Taxes = $300/mo
Insurance = $200/mo
Prop Management = $250/mo
Vacancy = $250/mo
Repairs = $250/mo
Total expenses = $1250/mo
NOI = $1150/mo or $13.8k/yr
-------------------------------------------
Todays value of 3 current properties = $550k - $575k
Mortgage balance for 3 properties = $410k
Estimated value after 13 yrs = $650-$670k
Subtract $40k ($3k/yr x 13 yrs) for out of pocket expenses = $610k-$630k
-----------------------------------------------------
3 New rentals estimated value after 13 yrs = $60k x 3 = $180k
NOI $13.8k/yr x 13 yrs = $180k
I didnt factor in that I can use the NOI from the rentals to reinvest and purchase 1 additional rental every 2 yrs @ $27k w/ rent @ $700/mo ($350/mo addition NOI)
It appears to be better to keep the 3 properties and just deal with having 3 mortgages until they are paid off. I would like to get everyone's input here, because I think that I am missing some info on the new rental side to properly compare the 2 options.
Please provide feedback and point out where I am off....
