Should I Sell My Home in Newport Coast or Rent It Out?   I have a home in Newport Coast and I can't decide if I should just sell it or rent it out. Help!   For many homeowners, renting out a home is simply not a viable option: they need to sell in order to raise the capital necessary to buy their next home. And owning two homes requires cash reserves. Consider, for example, that there may be periods in which you have no renter or when a tenant may skip one or two months rent. The mortgage payments still have to be paid.   Becoming a landlord is not for the faint of heart. What happens if the roof leaks and you’re away on vacation? There’s always the risk that a tenant could damage your property or cause problems that lead to an eviction.   On the other hand there are also excellent reas... 02/17/2013
