Sell or Lease: I want to hear your 2 cents

I bought this single family at 2005 for 430K and invested 60K to upgrade. If I want to sell the house today, I can expect to sale for 420K to 430K and the net proceeds after agent fee would be about 400K. So I will lose 90K if I sell the home today. However, I can free up 150K cash to do other investment.

My other alternative is to rent the house for a monthly income around $2200 and my monthly mortgage interest is 490 and property tax and insurance is about 430. I have a 10 year fix loan right now and monthly payment is around 2800 which include 1800 principle, 490 tax and 430 escrow. I will have a negative cash flow if I keep my current 10 year fix loan but the interest cost is low.

I heard people say it is not good to rent out single family as no one will take care the property like I do. I want to hear your 2 cents on whether you will choose rent or sale under this situation.

Happy holidays! And Thanks for your inputs!

你肯定很有錢。我們這些沒錢的隻能讓人家賺利息,被割肉喝血。沒辦法,沒有這麽多錢月付啊。 -sweetptt- 給 sweetptt 發送悄悄話 sweetptt 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 12/20/2012 postreply 20:59:21

波大,有時需要當機立斷不是。看貼裏說樓主還是有賺錢的樓盤的。那麽賣了這個,解放現金,投入賺錢的樓盤。 -sweetptt- 給 sweetptt 發送悄悄話 sweetptt 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 12/20/2012 postreply 21:34:45

我不跟你說了,cashout能拿十八萬出來,利息是能減稅的。九萬虧損你真減三十年去呀。 -borisg- 給 borisg 發送悄悄話 borisg 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 12/20/2012 postreply 21:44:58

而且每年可以有一萬的折舊。即使過幾年還是不漲那九萬也被你跑掉了。 -borisg- 給 borisg 發送悄悄話 borisg 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 12/20/2012 postreply 22:23:04
