Buy Primary Residence Then Eventually Rent

[Edmund Post]

I am wanting to buy my first property for my primary residence but only will be living in it for a few years before moving cities. I am wondering if I am better off just renting until I get to a more permanent location or if selling after a few years or renting it out after I move are the best.

I currently live in a high growth city but do not want to rely on speculation. Thanks all.
