I will list the numbers:current rent $1950/month (going to $2000 in about 6 months at end of 2 yr lease)My expenses: annual taxes $7950 ($662/month) Heloc balance $170k interest currently 5% land lord policy $1150/ year Self managed Maintenance : has averaged $300-400 per year.Reasons I am considering sale : 1) property is currently worth about $270k (making me feel roi is low). 2) property has a pool which is a liability that I'm not completely comfortable with. 3) property has a heloc balance against it of about $170k that I technically cannot deduct the interest because it wasn't used for the property or any other rental. 4) Tax treatment: my understanding is if you sell it having lived in it 2 out of last 5 years the capital gains would be exempt.
