Are you saying that you are renting for 9.5k and you have 5k in cost?
But yeah if you are cash flowing $4.5k but you only have 10k in equity this is kind of a no brainer to keep renting.
Ah I see, how much equity do you have in the property right now?
Not following the numbers or equity. Are you talking $4,500 net profit a year on $10k of equity? If so, that is a very good return.
I would look at the total investment return based on dollars in (down payment, maintenance, repairs, etc) vs dollars out (income, appreciation, equity) . The equity is money you’ll realize at some point when you sell, so it is real value. Compare the return of the property against other investment options to make your decision.

Keep renting.
There’s a lot of benefits to having a rental property from the tax perspective - you can write off expenses, property taxes, insurance, depreciation, etc. that often make it appear negative on paper (so cash in your pocket!). But it’s not always worth it, rentals can be a bunch of work and extra stress for sure.
True! The house keeps appreciating, I wonder how everything will play out when I do my taxes.
Given the current low inventory and high interest rates, some people are happy to find a deal with cash flow breaking even so they can still get the appreciation/mortgage paid down. $375-500/month is meaningful, plus you’re earning equity with every mortgage payment. I would definitely hold on to that. Just make sure you’re budgeting for reserves as well.
No this is good. And your equity gain per year will grow as the amortization table starts to flip
Keep renting 100%
If it’s paying for itself and you’re not ready to sell, absolutely keep renting. The first one is never quite as profitable because you’re paying administrative costs for that one. Your profit scales the more of them you get. I own six rental homes, for context. Plus my personal home.
You are winning! There is a profit I hope you have allowed to accumulate for repairs, upgrades, and tenants who stop paying. The tenant is paying the debt service plus providing money for the above mentioned. It sounds like you have a good tenant and the house is holding up. You are WINNING at OPM right now! Keep your good paying tenant and enjoy your good decision!
What’s the value of current equity? Big difference on those returns between a $100k and $1m house
So you have 250k equity now?
If so, sell it. Even with 10k in appreciation every year you are only making like 6% on a leverage dinvestment
15k is passive income plus the enormous tax benefits and you’re asking if the profit is too low?
Only about 4.5k is cash “passive income”, but that’s a variable as house maintenance and expenses are unpredictable, that can be easily gone if something major breaks (water heater/boiler) etc. The house will also need a new roof in the next few years so trying to save it. FYI The 10k is equity.
I’m not sure what the enormous tax benefits are, I deducted the mortgage interest, and allowable energy savings improvements (new windows, central AC, washing machines) and still had to pay some taxes at year end before tenants. This year I won’t be able to claim the energy improvements, just mortgage interest and maintenance costs. Plus they will tax me on the 45k I collected.
