So like CA Renter indicated, the primary decision should be whether you want to eventually move back to SD.
If not, then the decision on whether you would rent or sell the house should be dependent on Return on Equity & capitalization rate based upon the current selling price of the home. Since no one can predict the future value of housing in the short term, long term investment timeframe should be considered for real estate. In addition, the balance between real estate investments vs other investments should be considered.
Other investments may be as tax efficient and provide dividends equal to the rental income as well as potential capital gains.
