Should I sell or rent my Marietta home if I am relocating?

Relocating out of a Marietta home puts you in the position of comparing what you would net from a sale against what it takes to manage a rental from a distance. Renting means finding a property manager or handling tenant issues remotely, while selling converts your equity into cash you can use right away, subject to your own tax situation. Neither answer fits every homeowner, and financing rules for a home you are buying next can tip the decision too. Joel Boss can run the sale-side numbers for comparison.
