I’ll be in my house for another 3 years but will need to decide whether to rent or sell then. Home value and gross rent estimates are a little fuzzy. Value could be +/- $15k. Rent could be $3000+. I live in a small city with several universities and a vacancy rate of 1%. My neighborhood is gentrifying fast and is would be desirable to visiting/new faculty.
I’d want to refinance again to a 30 year note and get my P&I payment below $1k. I could do this now. Or I could throw some cash at the mortgage and refinance in a few years, subject to rates.
I’m curious as to whether this could work or not. Let me know what info I’m missing.
