Should I Sell or Rent Out My House?

Turning Your Home into an Investment: Is Renting Right for You?

Deciding whether to rent out your home or sell it is one of the biggest choices a property owner can make. While selling offers an immediate return, renting provides the opportunity for steady monthly income, long-term equity growth, and flexibility should you decide to sell later. That said, it’s important to run the numbers carefully. A successful rental should take into account your mortgage payment, property taxes, HOA or regime fees, and professional property management services, while still leaving room for profitability.

At CREC Property Management, we know that when our owners succeed, we succeed. Our role is to help you evaluate the market, analyze potential rental income, and ensure your property is positioned to perform. Whether you’re leaning toward selling or exploring the advantages of becoming a landlord, we’re here as your trusted partner to guide you toward the smartest financial decision for your future.
