Renting or Selling
Hello ! I am set to inherit a house from a family member and I would owe nothing on the mortgage or anything outside of utilities and internet. The house is estimated to be worth about 450k right now. I am 168k in debt. With the current market, I don't know if I should rent half the house and live in the other half (3b,2b) or if I should sell the house to instantly pay off my student loans. The renter would have 2 of the 3 bedrooms and a bathroom in their section. There is currently no kitchen in their section but I would be making one for them.
Rent for 2b1b in my area goes for about 2,000 to 2,600, if that helps at all. I want to charge on the lower end because 2,600 is absurd.
