If you own here and are deciding
Rent or sell is a repair question as much as a returns question. A house that needs $18,000 of work is a different proposition as a rental than as a listing — as a rental you can stage the work over two tenancies, as a listing you generally cannot. I price the work and run both numbers, because I do the work as well as the transaction.
What I look at
- What it leases for now versus what it leases for after specific repairs
- Which repairs a tenant will not tolerate and which can wait
- What the same money returns if you sell instead
- Whether the covenants for your section restrict leasing at all
If you are looking for a place to rent
Tell me the area, the bedroom count and the date you need to be in, and I will send what is actually available rather than what is still listed after it has gone.
