As the title suggests, I got a text today from some rando asking if I am willing to sell my rental property and I am trying to calculate a value. When you google “how many years’ rent is worth selling now” it doesn’t just tell you a number. That’s basically what I’m looking for. But instead I get various ways to value a property based on gross cap and net operating income.
If I keep my property for the rest of my life, it will almost assuredly make me more money, but is there a general rule-of-thumb people use when deciding to sell something? I have an idea of what a “fair market price” would be right now, but if I divide that by my yearly profit, what would be a good number to see? 5 year
