Flip or rent?
I bought a house with the intent of flipping for the cash. Paid $53k and spent $15k fixing it up. Financed 45k thru home equity loan. Now I am rethinking about whether to keep the property and rent it? I have a paid off rental and am debt free except for this house. The market value estimate is $105k and I am listing it for $90k. Rent in that area goes for $825 monthly. How do I determine which is the best decision? Flip or rent? Originally was flipping in order to generate more upfront cash to buy a rental. That's my ultimate goal. Thanks in advance! Sherry
