Should I Sell or Rent My House Out?
Your Options When Moving Out
When To Sell Your Home
If you need a large amount of money to buy your next home or invest in other ways, selling might be the best option. This lump sum of cash can help you with the down payment for your next property. Plus, selling your home means you don't have to be a landlord, hire a property manager, or carry recurring costs.
If you’re in a seller’s market and can make a large profit by selling your home, it might be a good idea to jump on it! If your realtor thinks prices might start to go down, selling your home might be the most lucrative option. Additionally, if you research local rent prices and you won’t be able to afford the mortgage on your home with the amount you can charge for rent, consider selling.
When To Rent Out Your Home
If you’re interested in gaining another source of income every month, renting might be right for you! If you’re planning to live in the same city as your current home and can manage the property yourself, you might want to consider renting out your home.
Additionally, if it’s a buyer’s market and home prices are down, it might be a good idea to rent out your home until the market booms and you can make a large profit by selling your home. If you expect your home’s value to shoot up in a few years, holding onto the property can be a wise financial decision.
What Costs You Incur When Selling or Renting Your House
There are several costs you need to take into consideration when selling or renting your house. While both will bring you income, they will also both cost you money. Selling will cost you up front, but you will also gain a large lump sum of money, while renting won’t cost you too much up front, will bring more consistent income, but also incur maintenance costs over time. If current rent prices are able to cover your mortgage and the upkeep of the property, renting might be a good financial investment - if you’re willing to put in the work over time, renting your house out can be very lucrative.
