Best when... You want cash + simplicity now Long-term wealth is your #1 goal

Four questions to find your path

1
Do you need cash right now?

If a large down payment or debt payoff is the priority, selling unlocks {{example.sellNet}} today. Lean toward Path A.

2
Would it rent near its payment?

If market rent exceeds PITI, the property is cash-flow positive and keeping it pencils out. Lean toward Path B.

3
Are you okay being a landlord?

Even with a property manager there is oversight involved. If not, simplicity wins. Lean toward Path A.

4
What is your #1 goal?

Cash flexibility and simplicity point to Path A. Maximum long-term wealth building points to Path B.
