Pros and Cons of Renting my Own House
When I had to rent my own house, I was contemplating whether I should actually do it or hire a real estate agent for this. Hiring an agent seemed like a simple solution but it was an expensive option. So, I decided to study the pros and cons of renting my own house.
Pros:
Saves Money
Direct Interaction with Tenants
Marketing
When I list my property on a property listing site, I can upload a description in my own words about the house highlighting its special features. I can also list on multiple property portals to increase the exposure of my listing.

Cons:
Requires dedicated time and efforts
Renting my own house definitely means a lot of work. I will need to give my focused attention and time for it.
Limited Resources
As the owner of the house, you will have access to limited resources when compared to an agent.
I found the pros outweighed the cons and hence it was definitely a better option to rent my own house.
