I don't think there are any right or wrong answers to this situation but I am curious on how other members of the forum would handle this.

My personal residence is a townhouse I purchased through HUD for a stated purchase price of $45,000. I put $10,000 down on the home on a 15 year loan at 5.75% interest and currently owe around $33,000. My current mortgage payment which includes taxes and insurance is $356.00 per month. I have cosmetically updated the home and using 3 neighbors as comps, my value is somewhere in the $70,000 to $75,000 range.(I am an appraiser)

Here are my thoughts as of now (very open to your suggestions):

I keep the home either as a rental or owner finance to someone with bad credit for $80,000 @ 8% for 30 years with $4,000 down. I estimate I can rent it for anywhere to $500 to $550 per month.

I sell the home in December (earliest I can sell due to HUD guidelines) and pay the 15% long term capital gains tax. Then buy another personal residence at a discount with the profit.

I am 25 and single with no other debt other than my mortgage. What would you do if you were in my situation? If I left out any pertinent information feel free to ask.

Great forum with some smart guys....looking forward to your thoughts.
