Should I sell my investment property?
The right answer depends on rental income, growth outlook, your cash flow, and life plans. Sell if yield is low or negative, location has peaked, or you need to re-allocate funds. Hold if it’s strong yielding, well-tenanted, or has ongoing capital growth prospects. Review rent, costs, upside potential, and long-term financial strategy before making a move.
