Should I sell or hold onto my investment property.
I have a single family home that I've been renting for the last five years. Currently my mortgage payment is $800 and expenses another $200 a month and I receive $1,600 a month in rent, so I profit $600 a month. Here's my question. The home is starting to require repair that could really affect my profit, so I'm wondering if it's time to sell while the market is hot and inventory is low. I currently owe about $95,000 on the property and could probably sell it today somewhere between $200,000-$225,000. So there is another part to this equation. I completed a SAM loan modification (Shared Appreciation Modification) that states I will need to pay 25% of any appreciation on the property if I sold or refinance. With that said, is it worth selling or continue to hold out to build up more equity in the property.
