exit matrix

Every way out of a property costed side by side: sell, refinance and hold, rent, or assign the contract.

A deal with one exit is a bet on that exit. A deal with three is a position, and the difference shows up when the first one closes — which it does, regularly, and never with notice.

The matrix is costed after tax, because the exits are taxed differently and comparing them before tax reverses the ordering more often than people expect.
