We will know whether your home is priced right and attractive to today's buyers. So do you have 30 days to try it? If you are pressed for time and you don't have 30 days, then yes, we can do both at the same time but get ready to be a landlord.
Let's prepare for the rental license inspection, the landlord insurance and everything else that comes with being a landlord. This is the busy rental season and, if your home is priced right and in good condition, you will get a lot of activity. How quickly can you vacate? Today's renters usually want the home within 30 days.
Can you get out that quickly? With both renters and buyers looking at your home, you are going to be very busy with showings. Try to stay calm. Keep your home neat, be ready at a moment's notice and get ready to answer questions. If you have put your home up for rent and sale at the same time, you really have to be comfortable with either decision.

You pay rent throughout the lease, and in some cases, a percentage of the payment is applied to the purchase price.
