Single family home rental

[Tim Clark]

I am at the stage before newbie when it comes to rental properties. We are debt free, in great financial position and are considering moving. My question is would it be better to sell our house or to rent it out. I know that to answer this a lot is determined on what is needed when we move, but the framework of my question is based upon the assumption that my family will not need the cash from the sale of the house or from the rent. I have always been told that it is best to be close to your rentals but in our case, we could be on the opposite side of the country.
