With the current economic crisis and high real estate prices, capital recovery should be considered in both leasing and selling. Not everyone wants to buy for the purpose of living and settling down long term and not everyone has enough money to buy that apartment outright.
Except for short-term surfing cases of buying and selling. My opinion is that op still maintains the high purpose of selling and combining with leasing to maintain the ability to recover capital smoothly to dilute loan packages (if any).
However, if we look at it in terms of profit, then both will be profitable. It just depends on the person, whether he wants to take care of the apartment or not. If not, then the best option is to sell it. We see a lot of evidence of people who are successful because they sell apartments, or even rent them out. However, if we add other things, then it will depend on the person's condition and their environment. However, in terms of profit, both are still profitable until now.
