Should I sell my newly built rental?
Hello everyone, my first post and would like your thoughts. Been reading through some of the other posts, but here's my situation regarding wether or not to sell.
I bought a new build for 311k this year, it appraised for 340k a few months later before closing, and comps in the area are 400k+ selling now. My market is extremely hot where houses are selling the first day it's listed with bids of up to 30-50k on top of asking from multiple offers.
I put 20% down and I'm currently renting it out for $2700. Positive cash flow of roughly $800 a month. Now if I were to sell, I would definitely make my ROI at 100% but lose out on the monthly cash flow.
My initial thought was to buy and hold for a while, but didn't think the housing values would increase this much in this short of a time in my area.
From an investment perspective, would you sell or keep the rental? Granted if I sold, I'd have to sell a year later.
How I see it is if I sell, I can put that towards possibly 2 other houses. Or continue to rent it out and have the house appreciate further while making monthly income.
