Rent VS. Sell Calculator
Should You Rent Out or Sell Your Property?
Instructions
Use the calculator on the left to compare the financial impact of renting versus selling your home. Simply enter your property and financial details to receive an estimate of your potential returns under each option.
Note: The Years to Hold field allows you to estimate how long you plan to keep the property before selling. This value is important because it determines the projected year of sale and automatically factors in the associated selling expenses for that year.
The Other Costs category may include expenses such as real estate agent commissions, capital gains taxes, depreciation recapture, and other selling-related costs. Because these expenses are applied in the projected year of sale, you may notice a significant increase in costs during that year.
