What next when I move away from where I currently have property?
Hello BP community, I'm panning a move away from the area where I currently have invested and I am trying to figure out what to do with my rental property that I have had for about 6 years now. The questions I am struggling to answer are: should I sell the property, contract a property manager, or continue to manage without? Should I try for a cash out refinance or leave as is?
Realtor recommended I hold onto it as long a possible if I can as the area is appreciating well, but not sure if I can/should since I think the numbers are pretty tight as far as handling the addition of management fees and and future potential reductions in rent.
I would use the cash out for improvements needed to the property and investing in new opertunities.
I have included some additional details on my specific situation and would love your thoughts or anything I may be missing.
