has anyone inherited a rental and decided to keep it instead of selling?
we’re sorting through an estate right now and there’s one small rental property involved. most of the other stuff is being sold, but the house is a harder decision because it already has a tenant and brings in some income. i tried putting the rent and expenses into a DSCR calculator just to see whether it was really paying for itself. after taxes, insurance, repairs and the mortgage, it’s not as profitable as it first looked. for anyone who dealt with something similar, how did you decide between keeping the property and including it in the estate sale process versus selling it right away? did you mostly look at the current cash flow, or were there other costs or problems you didn’t realize until later?
