“How to Know What’s Right for You” — Lease It or List It with Savannah Dunn & Glynn Crutsinger

Thinking about moving but unsure whether to lease or list your home? 🏡 In this episode of Lease It or List It, Savannah Dunn and Glynn Crutsinger break down the pros, cons, and smart strategies behind both choices. From avoiding costly DIY mistakes to building long-term wealth through rentals, this conversation helps homeowners make confident, data-driven decisions — no guesswork required. Contact: Savannah: https://www.dunnrealtygrouptx.com/ Glynn: https://www.rpmonesource.com/ Key Takeaways Leasing vs. Listing Simplified: Glynn breaks down the difference — leasing means renting your property with a management company handling everything from tenant screening to maintenance, so you don’t have to. The DIY Trap: About 30% of property owners try managing rentals themselves first and end up calling in professionals after bad tenant experiences or rent mispricing. Pricing Mistakes Cost Big: Most DIY landlords undercharge by $200–$300 per month, which adds up quickly — professional management ensures market-accurate pricing and legal compliance. Long-Term Wealth Strategy: Savannah shares her own story of selling multiple homes instead of renting them, realizing later that holding and leasing could have built a powerful real estate portfolio. The Investor’s “Buy Box”: Glynn defines the ideal rental property — typically a 3-bed, 2-bath, 1,500 sq. ft. home with no pool to minimize liability and maximize tenant demand. Every Situation Is Unique: Whether to lease or list depends on personal goals, life changes, and financial health — the duo uses tools like Wealth Optimizer to model “rent vs. sell” scenarios for each client. Hidden HOA Rules & Legal Pitfalls: They caution investors to review HOA covenants before buying — restrictions on rentals or owner-occupancy requirements can derail investment plans.
