What This Rent vs Sell Calculator Takes Into Account
The calculator compares two paths using your numbers:
If you keep the property as a rental:
– Current monthly rent and projected rent increases
– Vacancy periods and tenant turnover
– Property taxes, insurance, HOA dues, and utilities (if applicable)
– Maintenance, repairs, and property management costs
– Mortgage payments and remaining loan balance
– Estimated appreciation over your expected holding period
If you sell the property:
– Estimated sale price based on today’s market
– Agent commissions and closing costs
– Mortgage payoff amount
– Estimated net proceeds you could walk away with
You’ll see a clear side-by-side comparison of the rent scenario versus the sell scenario, helping you understand which option may leave you in a stronger financial position.
