Cashout Refinance, Sell, or keep??? Great Falls Montana SFR
Ok so I am seeking your thoughts concerning my Single family rental (SFR) in Great Falls Montana.......Should I choose Option A, B, C or D?
Before you can decide you need some info...
Purchased property Aug 2010 for $151k
5 bed / 2 bath (2 beds downstairs are non-conforming)
Approx 2300 sq ft (1150 up & 1150 down)
New roof - 2014 New water heater - 2015
Needs new windows (within next 2-3 yrs) ..........$6k
Needs new furnace & a/c (within next 2-3 yrs)....$6k
Property is rented @ $1200/mo but lease ends in 45 days (June 2016) with the ability to increase rent to $1250-1300/mo. Rent has fluctuated $1200-1350/mo over last 5 yrs. We have put about $10k into the property over the last 5-6 yrs.
Expenses:
15 yr fixed Mortgage @ 3% (12 yrs left)
PITI = $1004/mo (about $550/mo against the principle)
Prop Manager = $120/mo
Vacancy @10% = $120/mo
Repairs @10% = $120/mo
CapEx @10% = $120/mo
Total expenses = $1485/mo (but $550/mo reduces principle of loan)
Income = $1200/mo (can increase to $1275/mo)
= ($285/mo) cashflow but = $1825 - 1485 = $340/mo increase in equity
However, property value = $190k Principle balance = $93k
Available to cashout refinance $40-50k
Option A -Increase rent to $1275/mo & continue to rent property....$340/mo equity increase
Option B -Increase rent to $1275/mo & cashout refinance...use $40-50k to acquire another midwest rental producing $300/mo cashflow
Option C -Sell property @ $190k - $15k closing - $93k payoff = $82k cash...use to pay off personal loan & acquire another midwest rental producing $300/mo cashflow
Option D -Suggest something not listed above.....
