Ok, I refuse to read the whole thing because you're wrong right at the bloody start. You can in fact sell a house along with the mortgage. It's not a fucking risk. Finding another buyer isn't that big a problem as the demand is fucking huge, unless you're selling a literal dump, in which case you're a monster for wanting to rent it out.
As for taking care of the place, there are countless companies that'll rent it out for you, if you really don't wanna deal with your tenant's bullshit. Like what the actual fuck are you even taking about? If as a land lord you chose to go the extra mile to squeeze out every penny, you don't get to complain about it being hard when there's an easy way out.
Tell me you've never actually sold a house without telling me you've never actually sold a house.
There's a mountain of paperwork, legalwork, fees, hiring, back and forth, inspections, certifications... etc etc involved.
If you seriously think it's "easy" to sell a property, you're clearly way to naive to even be participating in this convo in a meaningful way, as you have demonstrated effectively zero knowledge on the topic of realty.
It's easy. Bought a house 2 years ago.
Buying a house is not the same as selling a house you have an outstanding mortgage on mate, lol
Again, there are companies to do it for you. All you HAVE to do is show up a dozen times and sign papers. Sure you might lose a bit of money in the process, but since we're talking "buying house money" the so called risk is negligible. We're talking the amount of money you could put on a savings account and the monthly yield on that alone would seriously affect how many hours you need to work.
Doesn't even have to be much paperwork. I know what I'm looking at. Purchasing this property as a private sale was simply a matter of hiring a lawyer to do the paperwork and to confirm no liens or liabilities
Purchasing a house is not even close to the same as selling a house you have an outstanding mortgage on.
Getting into a mortgage is very easy.
Getting out of one on the other hand is much more of a pain in the ass.
