Rent vs Sell Calculator

Should I Sell or Rent Out My House?

Input values in the calculator below to get a quick read on the financial viability of renting or selling your house.

Note: The “Years to Hold” (whichever number of years you choose) is considered the year that the property would be sold. This raises the “Other Costs” in that year to show the client how much they would be paying to sell (selling costs, pay back depreciation, capital gains, etc.). Thus, the "Other Costs" increase significantly if a person were to sell their property in the chosen year.
