[quote=Escoguy]On balance, I’d sell one 2.3M home and buy two for 1.2M.
Then you can have a place to live or two rentals.

I highly doubt you will get twice the rent for one.

Then you have more options: i.e. you can live one again or sell it.

Not a bad idea but I’d still wait a couple years as you would want to come back to your home if you come back. Could always do that later. You also avoid transaction costs and other costs. Your in a strong position so use it to your advantage.
