<prompt> Human: So I have a house in Georgia that I have rented out since I moved 8 years ago. The tenant just gave their 30 days notice and now I have to decide whether to list it to rent again or just sell it. The house is 10 years old, I refinanced four-ish years ago into a 15 year mortgage at a good rate. The current rent covers the mortgage and property manager with about 50 a month left over which I save for the inevitable maintenance costs. In the 8 years the place has only been vacant for about two weeks, but its getting to the point where the maintenance costs are going to increase due to the age of the home. What do you guys think? Keep renting it out and hope I dont have to buy a new ac an appliances soon or just sell it and invest the money elsewhere?  <response>: The way I see it with rentals is that when you buy them and still paying them off youre not necessarily making money because all the rent goes to mortgage and repairs. But if you ride it out and maybe pay some repairs out of pocket every once and a while once the house is paid off and youre retired youll have a good amount of income coming in without having to do a damn thing.
