What should I consider in deciding to rent or sell my property?
BP! It's me again,
I have a rental in rural King George, VA. My tenant currently wants to move out early due to some hardships. We've tentatively agreed for her move out date to be in August so I can begin advertising now.
I'd like to get more involved in Real Estate investing. My house has about $200K left on the loan and maybe $40-60K in equity not including closing costs. I moved out of the home back in Sept 2015 and it rented in December of 2015. I've owned it since 2012.
Is my rental worth more to me as a rental/leveraging asset? Or should I take the potential cash, build up my savings and try and re-invest the rest? The home was purchased on a no money down loan as a starter home, so there isn't a lot of room in cash flow currently (~$200 after mortgage and titlhes). I think I could get $100 or more in rent at least if I put it back on the market.
What are your thoughts?
