We have recently been talking a lot about the opportunities out there for buyers. Between rates, prices and inventory we all know it’s a great time to buy.
However, many of our buyers currently own homes. And sometimes it’s just not the right time to sell your home. The idea to move forward, buy a home and keep one’s current home as a rental is a common one. This is a viable option for many, one that we advocate as part of a long term investment plan, but there are some serious considerations involved. One of course is qualifying for financing a second home and the other is that it is important to weigh the real costs of having a rental property.
We recently ran across this article from the National Association of Realtors. It has a good breakdown of many of the factors to consider.
