alwaysdreaminshelly | I need investing advice , Do I sell my house? |
I am only 30 years old and I own a house in another state with 100,000.00 dollars or more equity depending on the market.
We bought the house 5 years ago and it tripled in equity in 5 years now I have moved for employment. I am living in my Grandmothers house she is passed away with no rent payments. I will be moving out in 2 years and plan on buying or building a home then. I currently have renters in the home but only profit $ 300.00 a month if there is no repairs. So I would like your opinion , should I sell now while the getting is good. The home is only 1000 square feet and I am concerned how much more can it go up? |

Greg R is spot on. Stop and think about this for a moment -- your equity TRIPLED in 5 years; does that sound normal to you? Right now, homes prices are so overvalued that in order for home values to come back into a normal valuation level, prices would need to drop about 40% - 50%. The one poster that said that real estate wealth is built over time is being a little myopic. Yes, that is true, but how long of a period of time would you need to wait if the house value drops significantly.
The Buy and hold strategy is fine if the market is in an uptrend, but real estate prices are falling nationally. And unlike stock, you don't sell a house with a simple phone call. Houses are sitting on the market for months now. Nationally, there is an 8 month supply of inventory - the highest level ever.
Real estate investing is just like any other investment. You need to get out when the market is turning. We are only at the beginning of the housing downturn. There are still another 4 years of ARM resets schedule valued at some $3 trillion. If it's this bad and we're only just beginning, just imagine how bad it's going to get.
Greg is correct in that most people don't like hearing "bad news" or live in a Pollyanna world where "bad things can't happen". Why not, they have before, ie, Great Depression. If you can cash out, do it now because housing values are going to keep falling for some time to come. |

I would sell if you can.
The real estate market is deteriorating. The worst is yet to come.
I've done construction for the past 20 years and I know that things will get worse.
there was way toomuch overbuilding, and way too many people got in over their heads.
It will take several more years for these problems to be worked out in the marketplace.
I'm not looking for a bttom in real estate until 2011.
That's not a popular viewpoint, but that's what I see happening. |

Sell when it's high and invest the money or buy yourself another home, whatever your need is. |

keep the house and continue to rent it
real estate wealth is built over a long term
you are in a great position to hold |

Likely, I prefers to lease or rent it out for solid -monthly income without ill fated worry or problems in any investments and will never dispose it at any price,definitely the value would triggered with times. |

Some people really like owning Real Estate, but it is easily possible to get an average return of 10% on your money in stocks, and with stocks you have no maintenance issues. You could even invest it in a real estate investment trust and get an 8% steady return, with no effort or bother. In fact, you could take the $100,000 and invest it in tax-free municipal bonds and get a very safe, very secure, tax-free return that is better than you're getting now on your rental. |
