Rent it or sell it?

The math doesn’t have an opinion — and neither does this tool. Enter your numbers and compare the financial outcomes of renting versus selling your property over different time horizons.

Rent vs. Sell Comparison

Interactive Rent vs. Sell Calculator

Inputs: property value, remaining mortgage, monthly rent, expenses, appreciation rate, selling costs, investment return rate, time horizon.

Outputs: net proceeds from selling vs. cumulative rental income over selected period.

What the numbers don’t capture.

A calculator can model the financial side, but there are factors that don’t reduce to a spreadsheet. Consider these alongside the numbers:

Your time and energy. Owning a rental is a commitment. Professional management reduces the burden, but it’s still your asset and your risk.
Your tolerance for uncertainty. Rental income depends on occupancy, maintenance costs, and market conditions. Selling provides immediate certainty.
Your other financial priorities. Selling might fund a different investment, pay off debt, or simplify your life. Those have value too.
Tax implications. Capital gains, depreciation recapture, and 1031 exchanges all affect the real outcome. Consult your CPA before deciding.
Local market direction. Walla Walla’s rental market has been strong, but past performance is not a guarantee. Make sure your decision works under multiple scenarios.

This tool gives you a starting point. The right answer depends on your full financial picture and your personal priorities.
