Options for Selling or Renting a Home during Crisis

People often find themselves in “crisis mode” when a big change is taking place in their lives, such as divorcing from a long time partner, or immigrating to a new country. Often the hardest part of dealing with either of these very challenging situations is determining what should be done with your home.

Rather than making any rash decisions, it is wise to slow down and consider what is in your best interest now, and in the future. Selling and renting are two options, but both require a lot of things. Renting your property gives you the opportunity to return at some point in the future and move back in.

However, if there are joint signatories, one partner may buy out the equity belonging to the other or it can be sold and rented out.
