Company Relocation (should I rent out or sell my property?)

[Joshua Sartin]

Hey folks, I'm new to the BP forums, but have read some BP books (Set for Life, The Book on Rental Property Investing twice).

Need some help analyzing whether I should rent out or sell my home (3br/2ba in Zachary, La). The situation here is: Company relocation from Zachary, La to Spring, Tx. Home is located in the best school district in Louisiana and would go quick, whether I sell or rent. 

For the sale: I've got $25k equity in the property and company will pay closing costs. If I later decide to sell, I'd have to pay closing costs on my own (plus capital gains). 

For the rental: I owe $1,054 monthly for Prin, Int, Taxes, Insur. I already got a property manager engaged and he advised that I could rent the house for $1,800. HOA is $21 per month. House is 8 years old (low maintenance).
