Someone wanna make a job discussion thread?

For RE I am wondering, like someone such as myself where your condo is worth twice as much as when you bought it… and your mortgage is not far from being paid off… if you left the country, would you just keep it and rent it out and the troubles that accompany that? Or would you cut and run / invest the money? I feel like it’s a tough call, renting is definitely not risk free either bad renters OR building problems or the much vaunted earthquake we are supposed to have one day. There’s potential (though hard to believe!!) it could still go up even more in value too I suppose.

Smartly invested the monthly income probably isn’t that much less than renting. In fact, you’d only need to return 4% to match rental income.

Let’s not assume, for the sake of argument, that you need to sell it in order to fund living accommodations elsewhere.
