San Antonio Rent vs Sell Calculator

Name: Pyramis Companies, Inc
Price range: $$$

A rent vs sell calculator compares what you would keep if you sold your San Antonio home today with what renting it out could produce over the years you plan to hold it. Enter your numbers below to see both paths side by side. It is an estimate, not a guarantee, and it is not tax advice.

Your home today

Realistic sale price ($) Remaining mortgage balance ($) Mortgage interest rate (%) Monthly mortgage payment, principal and interest ($) Total selling costs (% of price)

If you rent it

Expected monthly rent ($) Vacant months per year Management fee (% of rent collected) Leasing fee (months of rent) New tenant every (years) Property taxes per year ($) Insurance per year ($) HOA per month ($) Repairs and maintenance reserve per year ($)

Your assumptions over time

Years you would hold the home Yearly home price change (%) Yearly rent change (%) Yearly growth on sale proceeds if you sold (%)

How the Rent vs Sell Calculator Works

The calculator runs two paths from the same starting point.

Sell today: your realistic sale price, minus selling costs, minus what you still owe on the mortgage.
Rent it out: your expected rent, minus vacancy, management and leasing fees, taxes, insurance, HOA, repairs, and mortgage payments, for the number of years you choose. It then adds the equity you would hold at the end, after selling costs.

The default fees match Pyramis pricing: 10% management and a leasing fee of 50% of one month’s rent. Change any field to match another quote or your own numbers.

What the Rent vs Sell Calculator Does Not Include

Income taxes. Capital gains, depreciation, and the tax treatment of rental income depend on your situation. This is not tax or legal advice. Please talk to a CPA.
Big-ticket repairs. A new roof or HVAC system can change the answer. Use the repairs field to plan for them.
Future prices and rents. Yearly price and rent change start at 0% on purpose. We do not predict them, and neither should the calculator.
