Post: Sell or Rent in Houston

Thank you very much, to all of you, for taking the time to respond.  This would be my first rental, so obviously it's a bit intimidating going through the motions on even where to start with renting!  Any suggestions on where to get more information?  I don't necessarily need the money, I've already put 20% down on the new property, and if all goes we should be closing in a few weeks.

My goals would fall in line with renting the property, it's getting over the hurdle of actually taking that step.  I would like to hang on to this property as it does appear to have good cash flow.

Tony - I was definitely thinking about the capital gains aspect of your post and is indeed something I need to do more research.

I've talked to a few folks and they mentioned using a property management service, any thoughts on that?

I've recently purchased a new home due to my expanding family and I'm not sure whether to sell my current townhouse or rent it out. My HOA has no restrictions with renting and the property is in Midtown Houston.

It has two bedrooms 1.5 baths, my monthly payment is $1500/month which includes mortgage, hoa, and taxes.  Two other units in my development are currently renting for $2100/month and $2500/month (similar sq/ft).  I purchased the property in 2011for $198K, it's worth $275K, and I owe $143K.
