I just moved from Houston after living there for about a dozen years.

Just do 10 of those per year and you will make 300k per year.

I make it back a few times a year to Rochester as I still have family there.

Make sure you do your due diligence or work with a licensed broker. 

There’s a “Cub foods” grocery chain in MN that’s closing stores left and right after 40-50 years in locations.

Median prices are up 4.2% year over year, and average prices are up 2.2% year over year.

I checked the Better Business Bureau for complaints, I checked the NJ State Attorney General consumer division to ensure he was licensed, I checked every reference he gave by visiting sites and speaking with the homeowners.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

Unless you are unknowledgable, my bet is you could make more from rent than sale, and still have the benefits of owning the original home while you go do something else.The 25K you have left in property will be netting you(gross) of $350 mo or 4200 per year.
