Sell or rent out house

first of all, thank you for your service

secondly, i would sell the house and take the sure money

keep in mind that "investment properties" are in a higher tax bracket then homesteads are, so if your are escrowing your mortgage now,there is a good chance your 10% will go to taxes and you are making no money on the price you have in mind now

you may be able to rent it, and get lucky and get good renters...or you may get a nightmare
remember the member on here, his parents passed away and his sister put renters in the house...they could have done less damage burning the place to the ground

if it were me, i wouldnt want the headache of renters
(then again, i got a wife and 3 kids, your situation might be different, and if your in a area with a large military population, you might be able to pull rank when needed)
