You really want to sell your home but renting isn’t an option, what do you do? If you still like the idea of a steady flow of income from your property then you can lease it to the customer of choice. You therefore don’t need the market actually.
Though renting does seem like a fall back plan once the market falls short, you better leave the home vacant than take this up. Renters rarely want to settle in the home and add a few more perks to make it comfortable for the house (there goes the home value). They are not likely to take up responsibility for the property. Those who opt to take it up on lease put a great importance to the effort and this will certainly increase your revenue prospects.
With the good care the house receives there also come the perks of having your money immediately.
