Lets see…the least intrusive way to do it would be to turn it over to a prop mgt company. That would probably put you with negative monthly cash flow, maybe $200-300 a month? Let’s say $250.

If you kept it 12 yrs, you’d shell out $3k/year x 12 years = $36K.

That home is probably worth about $250K I would assume +/- $50K. And it probably won’t be worth much more or less in 12 years.

If you instead sell the house now and put that $250/mo neg cash flow into the bank instead, you’d end up with at most about $50K in 12 years.

If you can afford a few hundred neg cash flow, I’d probably keep the house and evaluate it again in 12 yrs…at that time you’d have no mortgage and get $1000K/mo free money forever!

And I agree with TG – OKC is no place to live even for a straight guy (I’ve spent chunks of time in the area at various pts in my life – long story). If his suspicions are right, you most definitely will love the coasts.

Take care

picture 5 is what gets me, a geodestic dome? has anyone ever heard of this in a home?

It’s not actually in the home – it is an extension on the back:

There are a couple of geodesic dome homes (complete homes, not just extensions) visible from the 78 freeway, and we used to know a family who owned one in northern calif. It seemed to strike some people as the thing to do in the 70s, I guess.

My advice to people who have asked me about condos is to never buy a 1 BR condo. They always seem to be the absolute hardest thing to sell (you don’t specify the size of the one you are considering).

As marion and doofrat have pointed out above, what you really want to get is one as close to feeling like a single family home as you can. Attached garage, loads of privacy, fewest common walls. When we owned one, we bought a 3 br 2 ba 1 car garage townhouse (we had the upstairs and downstairs) with just 1 common wall. It sold very easily when the time came.
