Summary answer: Selling a rental property in Chantilly follows the standard process, but with a few extra considerations: tenant status, capital gains treatment, and timing relative to the area's genuine current competitiveness (3-4 average offers) — Chantilly's strong sales market may make selling more attractive than continuing to hold.

| Decision | What to Consider |
|---|---|
| Tenant status | Occupied sales narrow your buyer pool toward investors in Chantilly's owner-occupant-heavy market |
