Hi Kareen,

Our Editorial Director @Account Closed and I actually just wrote articles about our reasons for selling or keeping our primary residences as rentals that you should check out!

Brian decided to sell his property and take the proceeds into his next primary, and I decided to rent my property out at a loss monthly.

My loss isn't near $2k / month, but you may find a few reasons you weren't thinking about that would help impact your tough decision on renting or selling! 

Hey Geremy! Welcome to BiggerPockets and thanks for joining!

Here are some tips for networking and making the most of your account.

1) I'd fill out your profile fully before you do anything else! As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio. Particularly be sure to include your goals for real estate investing so that folks can help you.

2) Follow your favorite forum topics and set up keyword alerts! Adding keywords related to your investment strategy or market locations can be updated in your settings. You’ll receive notifications when there is conversation in the forums you follow or if a user mentions those keywords—so keep them updated often!

3) Check out some of the local meetups that you can find in this forum! There are so many so be sure to filter by your location.

4) Review Dave Meyer’s The State of Real Estate Investing Report 2024 (in your resource page as a member of BiggerPockets!) for real estate investors available to all BiggerPockets members!

5) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started! An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do.

6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

Hope this helps! Please reach out with any questions you may have!

We do have another discussion here for users looking for roommates, if you'd like to copy any information there as well!

 Thanks for reading, Henry!

Trying to hypothesize a future HELOC or Refinance became too far fetched with guessing on property value, future APR, taxes, etc. I only discuss sitting on the property for the next 30 years. Is this my intention? Probably not, but I wanted to create a linear path to compare selling vs. renting.

I would certainly take the $80k to reinvest comparing to sitting on the equity over 30 years, but for the sake of my head not exploding with inflated numbers in the future, I wanted to only argue what it would look like to not touch the debt on the property as well.
