Sell or rent a recent purchase.

[Terry McPherson]

Recently purchased a 3B / 1.5B and my intent was to rent and hold. I have 122K invested total after rehab and was initially estimating the house had an ARV of 150K. Found out today that was incorrect. It would be valued at 200K. Vary happy about that but never had that happen before and would like someone's opinion on should I keep and rent or sell and take profits and reinvest? Thank you in advance.

@Terry McPherson, if your intent was to hold and something relevant has happened to change that intent then a 1031 would be appropriate.  You wouldn't want to have that accident 6-7 times in a year but once is probably OK.  Just be sure you can point to your history or correspondence with your professionals.
