To rent or sell?

[Kristin Kiley]

Trying to decide if I should sell or rent my townhouse. Value is about the same as what i purchased it for 8 years ago. I have about 30,000 in equity and will be looking for a larger home for my family. I'm thinking it would be a great investment down the road. If i remortage i can also get a better rate than my current 5%. Also would this effect my approval for a new mortgage. Thanks.
