First home, over half equity, sell it or rent it?

[Jeff Wright]

I'm in my first home purchased with my wife and flock of kids but am about ready to sell it. However long term hold is looking pretty darn attractive.  Could sell in great market now, or refinance for funds and rent it. We didn't rehab it to rent it though. We put in lots of high end stuff with the plan of selling.  

Equity is great, relitor says sell, wife says sell, but it's an A house in an A+ neighborhood.  

Totally new to real estate investing, so open to your opinions.  Good or bad. 

Future: We bought this as an investment, and will be doing more REI with the funds.
