Sell or keep out of state rentals? MI and NC. THanks!
I own two rentals, one in Grand Rapids, MI and one in Raleigh, NC, but live in NY. The GR home is a 1920's home valued at approx. $130k, I owe $100K. Lease is $1,100 a month. I make about $100 a month. Lease expires March 31. Due for an upgraded HVAC and roof within a couple of years. Could probably raise rent to make $200 a month. Good neighborhood is starting to see prop values rise. Its possible that it could be paid off in 6 to 7 years. At that time it might go up $10k (or may drop $50K, it IS Michigan after all). The Raleigh home is an early 70s with good mechanicals new windows and roof. Approx value of $270K I owe $220K. Rent is $1,500 but I break even on payment. That rent for the area is maxed out. They are paying down the mortgage but unless I refi theres no margin. This area however is a hotspot that is appreciating rapidly. Could be upwards of $300k in 5 yrs. Wondering if I should hold or sell? Thanks for any advice you may offer. I really appreciate this community!
