Updated about 1 year ago,
New investor in need of serious advice please
I purchased my first "investment" SFH a little over a year ago for $435k in a A-list neighborhood in Central Texas. Due to property taxes, insurance, etc my mortgage is $4,200/month. However, according to my comps houses in the area are renting for just about $3,000/month. I'm wondering if I should sell now (It's worth about $100k more than when I purchased it due to inflation and about $80k of renovations) or if I should rent it out for the $3k/month and let it keep appreciating until I'm able to refinance a few years from now.
