Deal Analysis: Return on Equity on a 3 bed 1 bath Single Family Rental in Colorado Springs

This is not our typical deal analysis, in which we analyze a recently purchased property. Today, we are going to look at a rental property Jenny Bayless has owned for a few years and see how it’s performing by using our Return on Equity spreadsheet. This spreadsheet takes into account the current factors of a property and loan and runs different scenarios to help you figure out your best option. Clients often come to us not sure how they should keep a home they’ve owned for a while, sell and exchange, or refinance, so this is a great way to lay out their options. Check out this podcast to find out how a cash-out refi compares to selling the property.
