🔑 Rent Scenario
Managing rentals is a job. You collect rent, but also pay for maintenance, insurance, and property management if you don't do it yourself.
💰 Sell Scenario
Selling inherited property often comes with a massive tax advantage: the 'step-up in basis'. You only pay capital gains on the appreciation that occurs after the original owner's death, not from when they bought it.
💭 Food for Thought
Being a landlord takes time. You already take care of the properties and your parents. If you keep the rentals, you commit to ongoing work. Here is what that time is worth.
