@David Barnett

Thanks for the feedback. Right now, my mortgage is $1250 a month which covers the taxes ($2800 per Year) and insurance ($2200 per Year). If I refinance, I'll have to leave 20% equity and take the rest out as cash. The house can rent out for $1800-$1900 per month. I guess my new mortgage payments will be about $1500 per month which will leave me with $300-$400 cash flow per month.

Rentals don't need to be that great.  The brrrr method gets taken out of context to much on BP. Rehabbing should be kept at a minimum to get the most rent.

Thanks for the feedback Armin. Actually if I sell, I would get $60k instead of $100k because I have to pay for the upgrades I made last year ($40k).

@Aria Aref Adib- I think you could do either, but if I were you I would sell for 2 reasons. 

1. If you don't have the infrastructure in place to support rental then it may be difficult to manage from Texas

2. If you sell now, your gains would be tax free since you lived there for 2 out of the last 5 years. 

I don't think it's a bad thing to rent it because depending where it is you'll cash flow pretty well, but I would think you could do more with that $100K+ in Texas, I could be wrong though.

Word of caution, if you plan to refinance it to get your $40K out you may need to stay for a year depending on the type of loan, otherwise you could be committing mortgage fraud.

Thanks for the feedback. I should be able to rent it out for $1800-$1900 a month and I will be managing it myself from TX.

Good Afternoon,

I have a single family home in Minneapolis south suburb (worth $250K-currently owe $150K on the mortgage) which I've lived in for 14 years. Last year I spent close to $40K to replace the windows and the siding (I have one year to pay off before getting hit with a big interest rate; planning to do a cash refinance and pay the $40k that way) but now, I've decided to move to TX. Would it be wise to sell or rent at this point? I appreciate you helping me to figure this out in advance.
