Help on current house
I have a 3/1 I paid $127k 2 years ago.
Current tenant is not going to extend lease.
Mortgage + escrow = $941.. rent was $1150.Rate is 5.75%.
Sell? Keep?
Basically not making any $ each month, no tax break (income >$150k).Seems I am carrying all the risk with no benefit.Thoughts ?
3 options:
1. Let it ride.. don't need the tax break, nor cash flow.
2. Sell it...
3. Just pay the house off and have good cash flow..

If you can sell within 30 days get rid of it, if you can re-lease it for at least $100 more (to a reputable tenant) keep it; I would hold on to as much cash as possible - there are too many unknowns in 2021.
