Just want to run our scenario by you all and see what you think.
My husband and I bought our first rental property in August, we have great tenants who pay on time and we have a $200 positive cash flow after all expenses each month. Our area is having a major inventory shortage and in the 8 months we've owned the house it has appreciated 100k! My husband and I still go back and forth about what the ultimate goal is with the house, sell in 5 years, 10 years, keep it and use rental income as part of our retirement plan, etc. The fact that it has gone up so much so fast is making me consider cashing out. What would you do and if you have rental properties what is your ultimate goal with them?
