So we are in the "MAYBE" stages of going full time, like i said, Maybe. We plan on it but still want a home base. This would allow us to come home in a few years if and or as needed. So before we sell...
I manage a dozen rentals so I would say rent the house. Get top dollar and do not rent to friends and family. You may need a realtor or management company to find a tenant and manage while you are away. Costs will be more than you expect at times but it has worked well many years for me. This is business so don't make any screwball deals or cave in to some whiny tenants. Do need to provide a good place in proper working order and comply with local laws.
