Buying a new house and renting my current one - but...HOW?
This post is kind of half asking for advice and half giving you my master plan and seeing if my plan sucks.
buying a new house and plan on renting my current car be out. My mortgage is $933 and rentometer.com says the average rent for a comparable house is $1,547. (Sounds pretty good to me)
Question 1: How trustworthy is rentometer.com or is a CMA from a realtor more accurate?
I have a few things that I need to address but I don’t know what is NEEDED and what’s elective. I don’t know why to prioritize.
- Examples:
garage door openers are broke - Master shower doesn’t work
- Uneven backyard needs dirt
- Washer/Dryer on last legs
- Small little paint imperfections
- Kitchen cabinets need some sanding
- Question 2:
- What are the main things I should make sure are good before renting?
- Any other advice is welcome too
