Curious on outsiders point of view. I currently own a home that I am renting out because my kids and I moved in with my parents because of their health declining and they needed help with day to day things. I kept my home because I want a place to go to when all is said and done with their health challenges (mom has stage 4 cancer and dad has depression/dementia). Lately, my mom has been pressuring me to sell my home to get out of that liability. She says the boys, dog and I aren't going anywhere and we are going to live with them forever. I think she's joking. I see her point, but I love my home. It was my 1st purchase ever with no co signer, I did it all by myself! It was a dump, but the location was unbeatable. I put $40, 000 into it to make it perfect and it is. Great neighbors, great commute, close to the boys school, etc. My renters have been amazing (that sounds weird I know, but they really have been), always on time with rent, they take care of my home and we have a great relationship. I'm using a property management company so I am not making any money either than what goes out to the mortgage company. Homes in my budget are scarce if any. That's why I needed a dump or move 1 hour away from our lives. I know you all don't know me personally, so I am curious on others point of view. sell or keep renting it to build the equity? Right now, I would probably only make $5, 000 on the sale if that. I'm not 100% sure in that figure, I'm waiting in my realtor/cousin to get me the numbers (her mom just died, so I'm being patient).
