To Sell, Rent, Or Rent-to-Own?

[Jim D.]

Hello all. I currently own my home, and have accepted a new job out of state and will be moving in 3 weeks.

The house will need a small amount of work before being move-in-ready: some patch-up work after a kitchen renovation and some HVAC updates.

I plan on making those renovations in the near term and then either selling or or renting. I can make the mortgage payment in addition to my rent payment living outside of state, but it will be tight. Someone suggested rent-to-own as a way to sell with relieving the mortgage burden.

I'm sure you need more information to help me out. Let me know what more you need, and I appreciate your input. Thank you.
