I’m conflicted here - I own and live in a townhouse (4bd, 3ba) and am renting it out to 3 roommates (college friends). However I’m moving to a different city later in the year. And after living with these guys for almost 2 years now, I know they won’t take care of the place if I continue to own it after I move. Without regard to the current market, would it be worth it to sell or get a property mgmt company?

Sell.

It’s still a buyers market. It’s not a great time to sell right now. Perhaps rent it out on a month to month basis so you can get out of that easily and sell when the time comes.
