I suspect selling now would be the best choice, given the market and lack of capital gains (under threshold).Not sure how to calculate this easily – I've tried using the BP rental property calculator, but my numbers are all off since we've already lived in the house 8 years.

@Ryan Santos without knowing what type of property you are trying to insure I will try to be thorough although I don't think it would make much difference if it was an SFH rental or multi-family.

Hi Ryan, at the end of the day you want a tenant who is capable of paying the rent and will take care of the place.

I always struggle between the choice of faster payoff with less cash flow versus higher cash flow and longer term. 

@Ryan Blake thanks for the advise.

One week before the closing we all realized there was no way that we could have moved forward with the transaction because it was too risky.We had no choice but to go back to the seller and renegotiate the purchase price.

Tenants do not have a choice as to what they pay and it is not negotiable.

Or church or anywhere else in the city other than your place.I would cancel this booking immediately and rethink the instant booking choice.

The next one is a free meetup at Ryans Coffee this Saturday - go to meetup.com and search TVREI you will see they have 2 a month.Its hard to answer your question since it doesn't have specifics needed like where you want to invest, what you want to pay, how you are looking at investing (rent ready to tear down or something in between), and a whole lot more.
