Debating on renting my current home

[Jose Botello]

As we all know, the market is crazy right now with rates and all but I have been wanting to start investing. I’m considering renting my current home. The downfall to that is that it’s in a small town with absolutely nothing to do. The town is not the greatest I would classify it as a Mid to low B. To get to the closest Walmart or hospital is a 20 min drive. The house is a 3/2 with a full unfinished basement, upstairs is about 1900 only 4 years old. Payment is just shy of $1500/month. 

My question is, is it worth trying to rent the house out or should I sell and try to get into a fixer upper in town where there’s more to do?
