Recommendations • To sell the house after 10 years to gain the most Rate of Return on the asset. • Buy the house, not the condo, because of higher percentage of ROR. • Wait until marriage so that more income can be generated for a better house in a better location. • Rent instead of buying. • Analyze the Rate of Return in 10 years and decide whether to liquidate or not. • Wait until the appreciation goes up then sell it.
