It could give you peace of mind as you focus on your family and move to your new home, without the additional stress of managing a second property from afar.Best of luck with your decision! 

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

It sounds like you've gotten some solid direction above, but a few flags stood out to me in the above discussions and I wanted to point them out to help make your decision.- You mentioned this sale is tax free 121 exclusion, which is great, and seems like a solid start to your goal.- The townhouse you're moving into is currently a rental, but you plan to live there two years for the 121 exclusion.

Here's some input to help guide the decision between selling or renting the property, considering the specifics of the property and the potential additions like the ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit):1.

I am happy that I made the decision.

i think this is a decision only you can make. im in a similar boat (house hacking my primary) and considering renting the whole thing out to get a solo home for myself. certainly a lot of appeal in that, given how much work goes into the house hack. but whether or not the numbers on cash flow align is up to you. personally i dont think $150 (seems like about 12%?)

And also, know everything about operating real estate, if you really want to know the risks: business plan, financing structures, ability to execute, market research to vet their underwriting assumptions, how fees can influence investment decisions...3.

The type of home you can get in White House is a different universe compared to what you'll get in Nashville if you're trying to be 5 mins from the urban core.Make a list of what is MOST important to you and that will guide your decision making.

@Hector Lewis - The decision ultimately depends on your current cash reserves relative to your financial needs, as well as your willingness to reinvest for potential appreciation.

Before making any decision, I would get a customized property evaluation by a local Realtor to determine the value of the property on both sides of the spectrum; sale OR rental.
