5. Consider renting

If you’re looking to downsize, a rental might be a very good idea. You can save more money by renting because it’s typically more reasonable and you won’t likely have to worry about home maintenance like you would if you owned.

Extra rental advice: If you live in a pleasant neighborhood, think about renting your home rather than trying to sell it. And this takes us to the next step of the article. Click on the next page to see other tips on how to downsize like a pro!
