Selling a Rental Property?
Do you own a residential rental property?  Or two?  Or five?  Or 10?

Would you consider selling one or all of them?

There are plenty of reasons why you might NOT do so...
  • you might enjoy having a rental property as a part of your financial portfolio
     
  • you might enjoy having your tenant paying down your mortgage on the rental property
     
  • you might enjoy having a property that is appreciating in value
     
  • you might enjoy the income stream provided by your rental property
     
  • you might not enjoy the tax consequences of selling the property
But... if you are open to selling your residential rental property... it might be a GREAT time to do so, because...
  • there are very few townhouses (a typical residential rental property) for sale right now -- so you'd have very little competition when selling
     
  • there are a LOT of buyers in the market so you'd likely have competing offers to buy your property
     
  • many buyers are offering to pay over asking price for such properties
     
  • some buyers are waiving inspections and other contingencies
If you own a rental property and the end of the lease is coming up, let's take a few minutes to chat about your options and whether it might make sense to sell that property instead of finding a new tenant.
