PODCAST EPISODE 338 – Should I Sell My Rental?

In this episode, Cory asks a powerful question every real estate investor should consider: Should I sell my rental?

It’s easy to assume that if a property is cash-flowing, it’s worth keeping. But when you dig deeper, the numbers often tell a different story. Cory breaks down the difference between Return on Investment (ROI) and Return on Equity (ROE), and why ROE becomes more important as your property appreciates. You’ll learn how mortgage paydown, rising expenses, and hidden opportunity costs affect your real return, and what to do about it. Plus, discover four key questions to ask before deciding to sell, including how tax exemptions, cap rates, and your long-term strategy factor into the equation.

Whether you’re actively managing rentals or simply wondering if your equity could work harder elsewhere, this episode will help you make informed, purpose-driven financial decisions rooted in today’s reality, not yesterday’s assumptions.
