QUEST/ON: I plan to buy a larger home. Do you have any advice on the merits of selling versus renting Out our present home?

To keep the house rented, you'll have to pay advertising costs or fees to a broker. Maintenance costs take a bite out of rental income. Each time there is a turnover the house will have to be cleaned and redecorated. A vacancy can result in a loss that could take years to recover..A dead- beat tenant could take - up to six months to evict plus legal costs. You're better off selling a single-family home and using the money to move up to a bigger and better home. IT MAKES MORE SENSE to sell your house than to rent it out. Please phone Ray A.
