Renting Versus Selling Your Miami Home?

by Ricky Adams Beycome
Have you found a new house that ignites your passion for homeownership all over again? Are you unsure what to do with your current home? Many people go through this challenging decision year after year — the question about whether or not to sell the property or rent it out for an extra revenue stream.

There are benefits to keeping your home while renting it out to a tenant. The added revenue stream can pay down your new mortgage if your current house is paid off or can cover the cost of the mortgage from your old home. Depending on your financial status this could be an excellent route to take. However, there are downsides. Being a landlord will require you to make repairs when needed, finding the right tenant, and responding to your tenant's needs. You can hire a property manager to help with this task, but that will be an added expense, some are unwilling to pay.

If you are thinking of selling your home, you will need to pair yourself with an excellent Miami realtor. Beycome is a great tool for those wanting to sell their home without the hassle of using a realtor. Thousands search the site for homes to buy in Miami, and it's incredibly easy to use.

The upside to selling a home is once the sale goes through, you are virtually done with the property and can move on with a clean slate. But potential buyers may ask you to make repairs to the property or have conditions that you won’t agree with making the sale more challenging. There is also a matter of waiting when it comes to selling a property. It could take a month or more for the right buyer to come along, and by then if you were counting on the sale of your home to purchase another, you could miss out on your dream property.

Whether or not you decide to sell your current home, considering renting it out to a prospective tenant. Having an investment rental property can help your portfolio, and pad a retirement fund for the future. But it is essential to remember that there might be more work involved, and if you aren’t handy or don’t have expendable income for repairs, it could be overwhelming. If you can’t decide which option is right for you to talk to others that have gone through the process and get feedback about their experiences. With renting finding the right tenant is half the battle, and selling your home is a more final, but is perfect for those that have to move out of the area for a job or family reasons, or retirement.
