Renting or selling my 1st house
I'm in process of buying my 2nd property as my maine residence. Thinking to rent my 1st property. Just numbers don't really add up. So:
1) 1200$ mortgage payment
2 ) extra 100$ a month cause we are loosing homestead exemption (from 1400$ going up to 2600$)
3) Aditional 50$ for rental insurance a month
4) Property management 10% of 1600$ of expected rental amount = 160$
MATH IS : 1600-1200-100-50-160=90$
I know, i may loose money at the end of the year after repairs...But my view is to gain equity and market value gain,,, looking as a saving account/ retirement.
Option 2 is to sell it and profit 30k and maybe reinvest in a better rental oportunity.
Thanks for y'all answers. Exited to be a new member of the bigger pockets!!!
