If the property will cashflow when you move out, I'd recommend keeping it and, if the value has grown through your elbow grease, refinance out some cash for your first acquisition in Boise.If you're committed to selling in a year, you may want to consider a live-in flip; you'll likely have an easier time selling the end result on the retail market.Either way, if you timeline is only a year, be sure to factor in closing costs on the purchase (usually about 2%) and selling costs on the backend (6-8%).Good luck!
