I need some guidance here from all the learned folks.
We are relocating to location B from Location A and are buying a home there. I am currently living in a home and the question is about should it Rent it out or Sell it.
Here are the details of the home. Bought it at $320K at a 3% interest the PITI comes at $1650/month. I can get anywhere between $2800-3100 if I rent it out and I sell I get $500K. I don’t need money for the other home we are buying at location B.

I would probably rent given those numbers as long as I didn’t expect the home to need a lot of maintenance. Would reevaluate after 2 years to see if it is worth selling and benefiting from the primary residence cap gains exemption still.

Also depends on how established your other savings/investments already are.

Absolutely rent it out at that price! Be sure to set aside 15% to 25% of the rent each month for CapEx, repairs, and vacancy. Then enjoy the $500 to $750 discount off of your new mortgage with the cashflow!

Similar situation PITI $2250- i just replaced windows, sinding, roof, AC, HVAC, finished basement in the past 5 years interest is at 2.875. Decided to rent it for $4k and just buy a property not too far. It was the easiest way for me to get into real estate investing as interest rate on investment properties are crazy high right now. We will move to another place (new construction better rate than market for home owners) not too far and bigger than existing home and can accommodate our growing family
