But I'd like to run the numbers in the scenario as I move out after 2 years living there to check the cashflow- Financing: owner occupied conventional loan - Downpayment: 5% - Interest rate: 4% - Loan period: 30 years (fixed) - Vacancy of 5%, Repairs of 5%, Capex of 5%, and PM of 10% - I assume I can get 10% discount based on how long it's been on the market (purchase price of $719,100) - I used Realtor.com from the link and based on purchase price of $719,100 it gives me prop tax of $749- I relied on the listing agent data of $92 per month for home insurance - I relied on the listing agent data of $112.50 per month for water, $112.50 for sewage, $95 for garbage, and $60 for lawn care (assuming the tenants pay for their own electricity and gas) - I left PMI to be 0 since I do not know how to calculate this Result: Based on assumptions and MLS listing, this property cashflow -$1,280.00 (aka, a horrible investment).

Sundri Khalsa Should I sell at this loss?

My opinion is unless you desire to speculate on the Jersey City Housing market, and find that the ~400 loss per month is worth it to have skin in the game, then I would sell.Based on the wording of your post is sounds like you prefer stable cash-flow properties to speculating on the market, but both are fair strategies when properly applied
