Relocating Need 2nd Opinions

[Devin Boyle]

Looking for some opinions on what you would do?

A friend of mine owns a home in eastern Massachusetts in a desirable area, commutable to Boston with good schools. He owes roughly $260k on a mortgage and the house is worth about $350k. He was recently offered a job in Nashville and is going to be relocating. 

He is trying to decide between the following options:

1 - Sell house in MA and use majority of proceeds to pay off high interest debt.

2 - Rent out house in MA which would cash flow approximately $300 per month after mortgage is paid.

The debt load is credit card debt and fairly significant. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated thanks!
