Today's question comes from Rachel, who says, I'm leaving a large corporation to relocate for a two-year

0:31.1

job with a small nonprofit in a different state. I'll be renting a furnished house in my new city. However, I still own

the home that I previously lived in and am renting it out. I have informed my current homeowner's

1:58.5

is a good move and know how to prepare for it so the transition goes
