Unfortunately, one answer does not apply across the board to all homes. Some factors involved include: Why is the owner selling? Is the house a good "rental" property? Will the rents cover a good percent (or all) of the operational costs? How long will it have to be rented before it can be sold? What will occur to the value of the home once it is converted to a rental property? So, this is to broad a question for a quick answer. Using general parameters, I would say that what anyone in the position should do is consult a great Realtor and find out: 1. Net from selling now. 2. Expected rental cash flows. 3. Expected future sales position. Then, the owner makes the smartest decision based upon the factors that are most important to the owner. I hope this is not too vague. If you want, just comment back with any more detail and we can continue on the discussion. Thanks for the comment. Hey Anne, you ask a great comment.
