Newbie from NJ - Condo evaluation
Hi BP. Newbie from Hoboken NJ. Love all of the info on BP.
Would love some thoughts on a condo I bought last April.
Purchase price: $505k
3 bed 2 bath
I put $125k down
Mortgage/Taxes/Insurance/Maintenance: $3000
Currently rented for $3400. Could probable get $3600 when the lease expires in July.
Real estate agent thinks I could get $615 for it now as the market is hot for 3 bedroom condos in my town.
While the condo as appreciated quite a bit in just a year, it's not a great return for the amount I had to put down. The mortgage is a 30 year fixed at 5%. It's not backed by fannie due to local condo rules so I can't refi for a better rate.
I'm happy that's it's appreciated but torn on what to do? Do I keep it? Sell? Roll it into another deal?
Thanks
