If I were you I would have it on the market tomorrow.
You are going to loose more than $300 a month because of vacancies, advertisement,repairs and maybe unexpected trips to Wash. to deal with problems. By your own admission you bought at peak. If you are forced to throw in the towel later the odds are it is going to cost you much more.
There are not many areas ripe for buying here yet although it is getting better. It is a good idea to think about renting when you get here, maybe especially if you are going to keep that alligator in Wash. You’ll have a great chance to really do it right next time but getting into a world of hurt over the house won’t help that.
