Benefits of Renting your Home vs Selling it

With large population growth and a booming job market, there's a reason why the renting market in Charleston, SC, is so strong. While renting your home can feel like a daunting task, CREC Property Management makes it as simple a process as possible.

Here are a few reasons why renting can be a good choice for you!

Monthly Cash Flow - Passive Income

When renting your home through CREC, perhaps one of the most exciting benefits is the passive income each month. This income requires very little effort to maintain. If you consistently rent out your home for more than your mortgage payment plus other expenses, this profit will grow over time. If you are in a situation where that wouldn’t be the case, owners can turn to annualized tax benefits, real estate appreciation, and refinancing opportunities to make up for any shortfalls.

Tax Benefits

The IRS allows you to deduct many expenses connected with rentals in categorized or necessary expenses, improvements, and depreciation. The following are considered ordinary and necessary expenses:

Advertising costs
Leasing commissions
Property management fees
Repairs and maintenance
Property taxes
Insurance
Landscaping
Interest

Fool Proof Retirement Fund

Owning a rental property is a commitment to maintaining a safe investment. Life is short, we get it, so discipline to save and continuously put money into retirement accounts is not always appealing. A rental property can help you build larger returns in equity and cash flow, unlike an IRA or 401k.
