How do we know if it makes more sense to sell our current home or rent it out?
My spouse got a new job in another state, so we have to relocate within the next few months. We love our current neighborhood in Texas and think it would make a great rental property. We are trying to decide if we should hold onto it for the long term or just sell it now to have a clean break. What factors should we consider when making this choice?

How do I clear my data from a smart home before I hand over the keys?
I have smart locks and cameras and a smart thermostat all over the house. Is there a factory reset for a whole house or do I have to go into ten different apps to delete my info? I don't want the new owner seeing my old camera footage and I don't want to be able to accidentally unlock their front door from my phone next month.
Is it better to offer a mortgage rate buydown than a price cut?
My house has been sitting for three weeks and my agent thinks we should offer to pay for a 2-1 buydown for the buyer instead of dropping the price by twenty thousand dollars. Does this actually help people qualify for the loan in 2026 or do buyers just want the lower price tag so their property taxes are smaller?

How do I report an all cash buyer to fincen without killing the deal?
I am selling my house to an llc for cash and my title agent says we have to file extra paperwork with the government because of new anti money laundering rules starting in march 2026. The buyer is getting annoyed about all the personal info they have to give. Has anyone had a cash deal fall through because the buyer didn't want to be reported?
