What to do with negative cash flow property?
Hey everyone. Love the BiggerPockets community and looking for advice with a negative cash flowing rental.
I’ll get right too it:
I bought a condo for a place to live and received a new home buyer grant.
200k - 10k grant. Paid 190k
Lived in for 3 years and then started to rent.
I’ve now been renting it for 5 years.
After rent covers mortgage but not icy else. I’m basically out $150 a month not including any potential repairs.
So over the year I get 5500 towards mortgage for roughly 2000 in expenses.
During this time condo construction went crazy in the city another 6000 units in a city of 260k people...
Condo market has now tanked and not going to bounce back anytime soon.
Looked into selling the condo and I could get 160-170k with 135k remaining on mortgage.
Basically do I cut my losses sell and take that 30k or take my small equity each year?
