Re: Rent or/ Sell the Home... Need Help
Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable having an investment property that was too far from me, unless I had plans to use it again myself in the future, or had some relatives in the same city. Employing agents is fine to find the tenants but the management can be more troublesome.
I would recommend that you sell it and buy an additional property in the state that you will be moving to, providing you will be staying there for a while. You should not let sentiments get in the way of a good business decision.
