I think since you asked this question, no matter what you decide, you are likely to regret later.
If you sell it, eventually the price will come back up (as well as the rental price), so from the long term financial point of view, 150 x rent-price is not an attractive price to sell. If you rent it, managing the rental business 3000 miles away would be much harder than you currently believe.
Generally, I think it’s the best time to establish rental property when you move. However, in your special case, I will probably take that $20-30K relo package. I like hard cash better than future prospective given that you are not yet ready to be a landlord whereas coping with your new position and new city would already be hard enough for you.
