I have a home in Lafayette that I bought and lived in till I got married. I moved and still own it and lease it. What's your opinions as I have been contemplating selling.

2006 bought new for 227k
Put down 40ish

Note is $1464 includes everything (property taxes, insurance, etc)

I still owe 181k. 4.5% 30yr

I rent it for $2000

I pay $45/month for warranty product that has worked awesome. (i pay monthly, but renter pays the $50 when someone gets called out)

what would you pros do? I guess there may be some other areas where I could do better but haven't really worried about it yet.

Guy pays me with cash or check that I just cash...never deposit

I'm sure you know what I mean , lol

My dad has bought quite a few in lower income areas. The houses are cheap and nearly everyone is looking to rent. He usually gets a ton of applicants and finds one or two good ones. It has worked out well so far. Rent can range from 800-1200 on pretty low notes.

That would be nice to be off the books. But I don't trust people even if it was family. Did you want to invest in more properties?

I'm not sure. Since wife's home was larger (4 kids between us) we decided to move into her house. It does have a mortgage on it so I could surely pay down on that. But the rate is the same so there are no real savings there.

I was really wondering if I'm getting a good return or if it is considered low, I might be more inclined to dump it and use the equity elsewhere.

And yes, it is off the books....allegedly
