Calculating Whether to Sell or Keep Renting Your Property

This decision usually comes down to a few concrete numbers rather than a gut feeling — here’s what to actually look at.

Your real net cash flow

Subtract mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and vacancy periods from rental income — many landlords are surprised how thin (or negative) this margin actually is.

What the equity could do elsewhere

Compare what selling and reinvesting that equity could return against what the property is actually generating today.

Your own time and risk tolerance

A property that pencils out on paper can still be the wrong choice if the day-to-day management is costing you more than it’s worth personally.

If you run these numbers and selling starts to look better, we’re happy to give you a real cash offer to compare against holding on.
