The choice is all yours.

I would have simply been assigning it, but based on popular opinion by end buyers I'll leave it where it is... back to the seacrh.

If you are trying to use profits for other means then keeping the house in the 401(k) might not be the right choice for you.You can certainly cash out these plans now, take the tax hit and invest in real estate.  

I have heard that Portland and seattle are getting ever more popular so hopefully the appreciation keeps moving upwards!

With that being said, I would choose FL over OH (since those are the 2 choices you gave).  

They seem to be very popular in the city, but do not know anyone to ask.Thank you in advance

Naveen Kumar Ignoring PM choices, which I recommend if don't have any experience being a landlord, you can't really BRRRR a condo.Condos have a price uniformity to them as long as they aren't foreclosed.

@Gabriel Floyd, you've got a few choices but none are ideal.Your gain is roughly 50K plus a lot of depreciation recapture  (maybe another 40K to be recaptured).

Happens a lot when a house has been abandoned and closed up for a while.Although ceiling fans are popular here in the south, I got tired of replacing the starters in the light or fan sections after tenants manage to yank the cords out. 

I know what the responsible choice is but it's just going to be a rental property so I'm sure it doesn't matter all that much.
