Based On Today Market, Should One Sell Or Rent Out The Condo?

[blackie 4]

As above, the market looks weak for seller hence is it better to rent out than selling? Any gurus can advise?

It is literally a Million $$$ question bro.. Haha

Let's face it. Be it sell or rent, the market is not in your favor.

Hence the best person to answer this question is u..

Agreed then again hope to get some advise from property gurus to nail the decision. Unfortunately till now didnt get any perhaps most of them already jump ship?

If you can rent out, why not?

It's not a good time to sell now.

The question posed is both an investment & financing decisions. You are the CEO and CFO now

Need cash/liquidity to turn around?

Needs for other better investment opportunities?

No holding power? Worry interest would go up next year?

Rental= stream of cash inflowS to your pocket, perpetually = GOLDEN EGG

Sell = one time cash inflow then 'finish' = KILLING GOOSE!

Too bad, I can't impart you the capital budgeting techniques here, try read up.

Do you know what is 'capital gain' and 'dividend gain'?

Your situation is like holding a stock in stock market

Capital gain = buy low sell high, get the difference

Dividend = rental income

Too low the rental? Location no good?

Intend to sell to get $ buying another 'better' property?

......

If not all these, hold and wait, tide will come.

You may want to discuss with Asset Strategist. Not sure how to PM you for the contact

If you rental still can cover your monthly instalment then I think renting still better. Unless you have already earned enough from this property (30% and above) then maybe sell it and look for another good buy?

I think its hard to find buyer now unless your price is attractive enough like 5% lower than your neighbour but still you can test the market by engaging an agent to advertise for you.

Ok so whats the commission market rate for renting and selling a condo? Some offer no GST and stuffs.
