Rent VS. Sell Calculator

Should You Rent Out or Sell Your Property?

How to Use the Rent vs. Sell Calculator

Wondering whether you should keep your property as a rental or sell it? This calculator helps you compare both options by estimating the potential financial outcome of each scenario. Simply enter your property and financial information to see projected income, expenses, and long-term returns.

The Years to Hold field lets you estimate how long you plan to keep the property before selling. This is an important input because it determines when the projected sale occurs and automatically factors in estimated selling costs during that year. These costs may include real estate commissions, closing costs, capital gains taxes, depreciation recapture, and other selling expenses. As a result, you'll typically notice a significant increase in expenses during the projected year of sale.

Use this tool as a planning resource to help evaluate your options. If you'd like a personalized analysis based on your specific property and financial goals, we're always happy to help.
