I would sell it.

Rob Smith · Answer

it is making money because for 10 years it was at an interest only so it maid 600 a month but now i refinanced it and it is losing monthly the renters take care of all the expenses water trash gardener etc what i am wondering is should i keep it because it is costing me yes but it is also getting paid off by someone else and in a few years the rents will be up another 2 or $300 and it will be positive then mean while the write offs at the end of the year are helping me i am not sure what do you think

Your income is $1275, and just your outgoing PITI is $1446? How is this making any money for you?

What about landscaping? Utilities? Maintenance? CapEx? Vacancy? Turnover expenses? Its not clear to me how this property could be doing anything but costing you cash out of pocket each month.
