Have you considered renting it out for a bit more than the mortgage payment?

Yes. But the other issue is my career is IT. Not a lot of demand for that in the rural area where our property is.

I've got a line on a job nearby (within an hour) of the rural place to which I've applied. I find a possible job in that area maybe once every 3 months and have yet to get an interview. But if this one were to work out, we'd rent the city property and move to the rural place. Would be somewhat difficult for the first few months, but we'd make that sacrifice.
