Theresa, There is a company that started right here in Boise (yup, I'm here too!) and she (the owner) handpicks people to move in to your house, and they have to have nice furniture, and they pay a really cheap price in rent, she does it for most of the $$$$ homes here, that are waiting to sell, they have to keep up the yard and everything, but I would definately look into renting it out, even at a really low price to some one you could definatly trust, just so it doesn't sit empty. I do know someone who just moved here after a divorce and she's living with her sister right now, but looking to rent a home... Let me know if you need help! Good luck, and HOW FUN! I would love to miss out on the cold of Boise!
