What is my home worth if I want to keep it and rent it out instead of selling?

A home's worth as a rental is measured differently than its worth as a straight sale, since a rental buyer or lender cares about achievable rent and expenses relative to price, not just recent comparable sale prices. Local rules on leasing, HOA rental caps and property management costs all affect that rental-value number independently of the structure itself. Brian Beatty runs both the sale comparison and the rental-income comparison so an owner can weigh renting against listing with real numbers.
