Navigating Accidental Rental Properties

Many individuals find themselves in the situation of owning accidental rental properties, which can lead to questions about whether to keep or sell. A key consideration is the cash flow generated, which in one case was a 10% cash-on-cash return, translating to a monthly profit of $300. However, it's important to evaluate the opportunity cost of that capital, considering if there are alternative investments available that could yield a similar return without the associated management stress. Assessing personal goals and lifestyle preferences is crucial, as owning rental property can be a source of stress if it does not align with one’s desire for low maintenance.
