Updated almost 6 years ago,
Sell or Hold my SFR?
I own a SFR that used to be my primary residence. I purchased a new home 4 years ago with my now wife and kept the previous house as a SFR.
I would like to determine if it is worth keeping this house or selling it and reinvesting into another RE deal or other investments.
Some of the numbers:
Paid $680k
current value $640k
Cash Flow +/- $0 (it doesn't cash flow)
Principal paid down $1k per month
Equity $196k
If I sell the house I will walk away with about $160k after fees etc.
How do I analyze this? Is their a calculator for this?
Can I make more money in another investment?
Does 1031 exchange apply here if I sell the house for less than I paid?
Thanks
John
