Everyone here seems to have great insight/advice, I will see what I can do to help as well.At $7,500, assume that your mortgage doesn't change, and you are able to maximize rental growth, you are still ~4 years from the break even point, from a cash flow perspective.There are a few ways to reduce costs along the way: Renegotiate your homeowners insurance to ensure that you are getting the best rate, if you are covering utilities I would look into Solar and any form of water rebate, and if you are not self managing you should start as this can be your largest savings.We are likely still a few years away from interest rates being low enough to make a refinance worth it.

Redfin reports today that 14 of the 50 largest U.S. metros are now seeing price declines year over year with drops ranging 2.8% to 6.8%.
