Sell or Rent in Alpharetta ( Georgia ) ?

[Sindhura G.]

Hello everyone,

We recently purchased a single family home and are in a dilemma about selling or renting out our current townhouse which is located in Alpharetta, Georgia. Given the current sellers market, it would be easy to sell the house quickly with a profit. The current age of the house is 13 years.

Would selling be a good choice or would we get more returns long term if we hold onto it and rent it out?

Does Real Estate have the same or better ROI as the stock market?

Sell with a profit now and invest in the Stock Market vs Rent it out and hold for a long term with added expenses of house maintenance as the house ages, unpredictable appreciation, chance of vacancy of the property, property management fees etc.. Which choice is better?

Please provide your inputs. Thank you!
