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.
Well that's right my friend, if we look at it in terms of profit then it is clear that both options will still be profitable, but in my opinion there may be a difference in the amount of profit in this case where the option to rent will certainly be much more profitable than selling, but maybe the scenario is in the long term.
In the end, of course this also depends on how the apartment owner is, if as you said that the person does not want to take care of his apartment for a longer period then of course selling it is the right option.
For me, to be honest, I think I would prefer to rent it out rather than sell it, because after all it is a long-term source of income that can help me meet all my living needs until I retire, you will find a situation where your physical condition is no longer possible to work and this is the reason why I prefer to rent it out.
