We just signed a contract for a new home and have been wondering what to do with our current home. We have about 300k in equity right now. Our original plan was to just rent it out and keep the home forever.
However, I'm not so sure if it's the smartest thing financially. We will probably break even or maybe we get lucky and make 1% return per year on our original investment after the mortgage , taxes, mello roos, HOA , and insurance are accounted for.
Should I consider selling to take advantage of getting my gains out tax free or just hold and have someone pay off my house. I was originally planning on holding and treating the house as a savings fund for my sons future college tuition. Thoughts?
