Sell or rent our personal residence with pool
We are moving to San Antonio and trying to decide if we should rent out our Round Rock house. It is a 4200 sqft house on .8 acres with a pool, great school district. We really want to hold onto it and rent it out (I heard on the podcasts that people wish they had held onto every house they ever owned) but worry about renting a house this large and the liability we would take on with the pool.
Is the current hotness of the Austin market and growth in Cedar Park pouring over into the Round Rock market? We worry about looking back 10 years from now and kicking ourselves for selling because the market continued to heat up (or kicking ourselves for not selling because the market cooled).
I realize that last paragraph involves a lot of speculation but any insights you guys have would be greatly appreciated!
