8 SELLING: Ignore the housing market.
Don’t waste your time watching the housing market for the best
time to sell. According to Investopedia, “it doesn’t matter what
your home is worth at any given moment except the moment
when you sell it. Being able to choose when you sell your
home, rather than being forced to sell it due to job relocation or
financial distress, will be the biggest determinant of whether you
will see a solid profit from your investment.”
