Sell it, or rent it out?

The question every owner with equity eventually asks. This comparison puts real numbers on both paths: what you'd walk away with if you sold today, versus the cash flow and equity you'd build by holding the home as a rental.

Don't know your home's value? Get a free agent-prepared valuation first, or fine-tune your selling costs on the seller net sheet.

This is a planning estimate, not investment, tax, or legal advice. It assumes flat rent and steady appreciation, and the hold-side equity is before future selling costs. Taxes matter here, especially the capital-gains exclusion on a primary residence (Section 121), which can expire after you move out. Talk to your accountant before deciding. No obligation; your information is never sold.
