Rent, Sell, or Stick? (Long Post)
5 September 2019 | 4 replies
I've been in the house for a little over the year now, but I find myself REALLY missing living downtown for quite a few reasons (convenience, saved time, yardwork, etc etc), so I'm trying to see if it can make financial sense at all for me to make it happen or if I just need to suck it up and stick where I am for a while.I ran some numbers, and here's where I landed (Please let me know if I'm missing something):House Expenses:Mortgage/Interest/PMI/Insurance/Taxes = $1,370/moMaintenance (Assuming 1% per year) = $181/moIf I were to rent it out, presumably the tenants would pay the utilities, which come to an average of about $187/mo (heat, water, electric)I expect I could get $1,600-1,700/mo in rent.Obviously if we were talking about a pure rental investment, the numbers don't really add up, but since I already own it, I'm trying to determine if it makes sense so that I can move pack to the place I want to live.
