Sell or Hold Rental property
I own a rental in the outskirts if San Diego City. I would consider it a B location. Due to location its been easy to rent over the years but the quality of the tenant lends itself to a larger turnover expense when they tenant leaves. But they do tend to stay for at least 2 years. Here are the details. Looking for advice on whether I should sell or continue to hold this property.
Paid $300,000 in 2003
20% down $60,000
Loan Balance $210,000 (approx) I hate not getting monthly statements anymore
Current value $500,000
Curent PITI and fixed monthly expenses $1800
Current Rent. $2300
Improvements/repairs $30,000 total
expected expenses in next 10 years. $20,000 (roof, HVAC, etc)
Current and expected appreciation rate 3-4%
I think I covered everything but let me know if I missed any pertinent info.
The next question would be…….What do I replace it with? I was thinking a commercial or 5+ unit property ether local or out of area. My self employment status does not offer many residential financing opportunities so I was think commercial loans would be more readily available. (Thank you Dodd Frank)
Any input would be appreciated.
