rent your house and enjoy tax saving. the apartment and townhome rental are so high these days that alot of people are looking for houses for rent for almost the same price and twice as big and most important alot more privacy!
just a suggestion.

I just looked into a refi, they wanted me to finance more than I originally bought the house for! I told them to stick their offer up their a$$es. I can see a new trend starting here with mortgage companies taking advantage of the low rates to line their pockets...again.

Your right bro, I'm thinking the same thing. Just retired from the AF and wife wants to go home to Tennessee. Housing there is much nicer and better built and price is great. I'm a little home sick myself after being gone for 21 years. Good luck on this and wish you the best.

This is what the wife and I might do... We're looking for property and will be building new. But instead of selling out Condo we might take advantage of it's location, and layout and just rent it instead. Would provide a tiny little bit of income probably and a write off.

We'll see though. Market up here hasn't been too bad, so selling might be the best idea.

It's a good suggestion but I just don't want to deal with the "type" of people renting my home to.

To much time and effort over the last three years to have it trashed.

Exactly what we just did. Moving into the new house in about 3 hours. Renting out the old house for about $300/mo more than we owe each month plus a security deposit to cover damages if they occur.

Actually they (economists and analysts) are predicting that it should get down to 3%-3.5% in the next 6 to 12 months. The government is also pushing for lenders to lower rates, which should help get us there.

If it happens, it will be the lowest rates have been since 1955.
