Military move- Should I sell or rent out our home?

[Christina Colon]

Currently we live in a new construction single family home we purchased with a VA home loan. We will be moving with no intention to move back into this home.

With 7 years left of the military we would like to start building our real estate portfolio.

If we rent it would potentially clear $200-$300 monthly. The game plan for our next move is to find a multi family home we can house hack.

(I will add that we had a rental property and sold it last year as well)

I cant decide if it is better to keep this home and let it pay off in the long run or sell and use profit to put down on the next location.

I keep going back and forth and could use some pointers. Thanks!
