Jared Smith Should we keep our home as a rental
14 November 2024 | 25 replies
Thanks,JaredI'd only pursue this if there is an big upside for appreciation, or if you planned on keeping the house forever as a rental.Run the numbers, subtract 15% a year for vacancy and on going maintenance and repairs during each year, subtract 15% per year for maintenance and repairs to get it market ready once you decide to sell it.Example if you were to keep it for 5 years and sell at the end of five years:12x$200=$2400 year gross profit15% for vacancy, maintenance, repairs ($-360.00 per year)= $2040 gross profit per year15% set aside to repair, repaint, replace to get ready to sell on market = $1800 $7000-$8000 net for 5 years of rental.Appreciation over the term you would keep it would be the only incentive, and it could be a big reason why to rent it.
