Chauna,

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."  I'd keep the house since you already own it and with this great rental market, you'll rent it easily and make a good profit.   Interest rates are up so you won't get that great rate any time soon. 

(I have 33 single-family homes and have been managing them and buying more for 15 years).  I love rental real estate for making a great living.
Good luck.

We have always accepted pets (we are animal lovers ourselves). I charge more rent per month because of that and get it easily as many landlords in this area do not allow pets. I don't charge extra for pets. We have had little or no damage from accepting animals. I do have a problem with one insurance company if we have any pit bulls or pit mixes, but I just go to another insurance company and they will accept them. I carry a lot of liability insurance and have LLC's.
