Eager to start multiple BRRR process. Should I sell or rent
Hello BP Community,
I am eager to get a new deal and one issue that I am currently looking at is my rental in LA County.
Renters are moving out in Nov and and weighing my options to sell or continue to rent it out.
Currently $100 neg cash flow, but aiming to break even after with new tenants. (Mortgage-$2800).
Loan balance: $430,000; Comps on recently sold: $620-630K.
I've owned the property since 2015, but had to move due to military transfer (rented and non owner occupied Jan 2017-Present).
I was wondering if someone can provide me some insight on what to do, sell or continue to rent. I am not opposed to looking in other markets, even outside of CA.
Thank you all!!!
-Mike

Sell. This is no brainer especially if you can meet the 2-5 years rule. You could pay zero capital gains tax. I agree with @David Pere , take that money to another market or find deals when the housing market cools off.
