3bed/2.5 bath
10 years old
off Congress/ambassador area
appraised at 255k last year
mortgage amount still owed 181k (I guess around 20 yrs left)
note 4.5% is $1464 (everything in note)

I married and moved in larger home with wife/kids (she was in it already)

I rent it and have for some time for $2k/month. Single guy, mid 50s...basically, not a lot of kids running around destroying things.

Hold and rent or sell? I lived in it so no tax issues with selling it.

Or rent to me for a substantial amount less than you are to your current tenant.

I'd sell. I think the oil worker market is going to go downhill in Lafayette - sell before the prices fall.

Then your trailer park idea is excellent. All those oil workers will need somewhere to live.

Wish every financial decision I was making these days was so simple.

Send him my way if you decide to sell it. Sounds like we have similar houses but mine is off Kaliste Saloom
