Should I sell my house or rent it out?

[Josh Cos]

So let me start by saying I recently refinanced to save money before I decided to start moving into REI. I bought my house with a girl a few years ago, and we split up last year. It is also much more room than I possibly need on my own. So my plan is to downsize while I work on starting my real estate journey with rental properties and the such. My question is- after just having refinanced, would it be more fruitful to try and rent out my current home or perhaps renovate it and try to sell it at a higher price?
