I have multiply rental properties and I have done very well by it. Just be very selective about who you choose. Then at the end of the lease re-evaluate your market and decide if you should sell or rent again.

We actually can't rent it out. The university I work at does our mortgages and if we rent it, they say we either have to refinance with someone else or pay them back, so that's not an option unfortunately. I really like the idea of pulling it for a while and going back with someone else. We've started lining up agents we like and are going to interview them soon because our contract with our current agent runs out in a month. Is it in bad taste to go with someone in the same firm?
