Honest answers.
Don't let anyone — including me — talk you into selling or renting before you've walked these four. They're in order of importance. If you flunk even one, your answer probably isn't the one you walked in with.

Use this as a quick reality check, not gospel. A 76179 starter home, a Boat Club corridor property, and a larger custom build don't behave the same — but these numbers are a solid baseline for the conversation.
“Should I sell or rent?” doesn't have one answer in 76179 — it has a different answer for Saginaw than for the Boat Club Road side, and a different answer for a 1,500 sq ft starter than a 3,200 sq ft custom.
The rent-to-price ratio is the single number that usually breaks the tie. Above 0.7% monthly, renting starts to look serious. Below 0.5%, the math usually argues for selling and redeploying. 76179 is sitting at 0.56% — above the floor where selling looks obvious, but below the line where renting is compelling on math alone. That middle ground is exactly why the four-question framework above matters more than the headline number.
