This week's question
I've got a new job which means I have to move to another part of the country. In the present economic climate I doubt I'll sell my four-bed semi near York. I'd like to rent it out - will I cover my mortgage and will it get trashed? Should I rent it to friends or via an agent? Any tips?
What are your thoughts?
