What to verify next

Checklist

  • Verify selling costs, tax basis, exclusions, and capital improvements with a tax professional.
  • Estimate repairs, prep costs, concessions, and days on market with a local agent.
  • Stress-test rent for the next home and ownership costs while holding.
  • Flexibility, liquidity, and long-term upside may matter more than the modeled delta.
