I am a realtor and I could help you sell your home, but I suggest you keep it.  

Hi Hunter, I taught for 13 years in Clayton and Henry County, GA before switching into full time real estate.  

@Reyna AyalaI personally feel this is overkill.

Finding great off-market deals can feel like a needle-in-a-haystack challenge.

I do feel like Haverhill is much in the "path of progress" than comparable areas like Lowell and Lawrence, so it's a city on my radar for sure.

To rent the home, I would lose about $2,500 per month (based on comparable rents in my area, property management fees, etc).Both options loose the same amount by roughly 2 years, and by this time, I still will not have built up much more equity in the home to make selling it a break even unless there is price appreciation by then.My dilemma is this: I speculate that my home will not appreciate much in the next 3-5 years due to the rapid pace of development in the surrounding area.In 5-10+ years, maybe, but by then I'll have bled $150,000 - $300,000.I have thought about this a lot and feel that I mar'-too close to the problem to see the best solution.

I paid for a lifetime membership and then still got charged. 

Go with what you feel comfortable with.4.

Just wanted to make what is the first of many posts and say hello to everyone :) If anyone has knowledge of multifamily investing in the New Orleans or Baton Rouge area (or is on a similar path), feel free to connect!
