Sell or rent it out?

An honest look at cash flow, vacancy risk, property management cost, and what makes sense long-term.

Selling vs. renting it out

Plenty of military owners hold their Hill AFB home as a rental when they PCS. Sometimes that is the right call. Often it is not. Here is the honest framework:

  • Equity already built. If you have meaningful equity, selling lets you redeploy it into your next home, often with a stronger down payment at the next duty station.
  • Real cash flow, not hopeful cash flow. A rental needs to cover mortgage, taxes, insurance, vacancy, repairs, and management. We run the math with conservative numbers, not best-case ones, based on my experience as a professional landlord and board member of the Northern Utah Real Estate Investors Association.
  • Distance and management. Self-managing from another state rarely goes the way people imagine. Professional management is typically eight to ten percent of rent, plus leasing fees.
  • Capital gains window. The IRS primary residence exclusion has a use-test window. Holding a property as a rental too long can cost real money at sale time. Confirm specifics with a tax professional.

When selling usually wins

  • You have solid equity and want it working at your next duty station.
  • The numbers do not pencil as a rental once vacancy and management are real.
  • You do not want to be a long-distance landlord during a new assignment.
  • You are inside the capital gains primary-residence window.

When holding can make sense

  • You expect to PCS back to Hill or retire in the area.
  • Your rate is well below current market and the unit cash flows honestly.
  • You have a trusted local property manager already lined up.
