Recently, our real estate agent did a market analysis and estimates we can sell for between $575K-$585K, resulting in a net gain after all of our fees of about $100K.

My easiest, no hassle, lowest expense rentals are the ones where the tenants stay 5 + years, do minor maintenance themselves, call me immediately with any issues so I can fix them before they become much more costly, and agree to annual market adjusted rent rate increases.  

There is no one size fits all answer for this question, market to market, and property to property are all different. 

The market shifts, and properties take longer to rent or sell?

Instead of following trends, tailor your space to the lifestyle of your target market.

Does anyone from you know how can we market a SFR available for lease for retirement homes?

It’s not a crystal ball and it’s not going to catch major shifts in the market.

Unless you are sourcing properties yourself off-market, REI became much more challenging in 2023, and downright brutal since the start of 2024 here.
