Episode 3: Compare the whole housing and financial picture

The decision to sell, rent, or keep a California home is connected to more than an expected sale price or monthly rent. A useful comparison includes the mortgage balance, usable equity, transaction costs, carrying costs, vacancy, repairs, property management, insurance, taxes, reserves, and the household’s need to qualify for or fund a Nevada purchase.

Keeping a California property may preserve a long-term asset, but it can also retain debt and management responsibilities. Renting may generate income, but underwriting rules determine whether and how that income can help qualify for a new mortgage. Selling may simplify the move and release funds, but the net result depends on costs and individual tax circumstances.

第 3 集:不要只看房價或租金,要比較整體財務影響

加州房子要賣掉、出租或繼續保留,不能只看預估售價或每月租金。應該一起比較剩餘房貸、可使用的淨值、交易成本、持有費用、空租、維修、管理費、保險、房產稅、預備金,以及家庭購買 Nevada 房屋時的資金與貸款資格。

保留房屋可能保有長期資產,但也會繼續承擔債務與管理責任。出租可能產生收入,但貸款審核會依照貸款方案與文件決定租金能否、以及如何列入收入。出售可能讓搬遷更單純並釋出資金,但實際淨額仍取決於成本與個別稅務情況。
