We've thought along these lines as well. Making sure you are caught up with all your bills is one big thing. Renting the house may not be too much of a problem, but what about expenses when something goes wrong with it? Do you have someone nearby to go over and check on things, make minor repairs, and/or deal with plumbers, electricians, or whoever might be needed during that year? You will be a landlord and responsible for quite a few things (not the least of which is hoping you rented to people who won't destroy the place).
Our thinking was to buy an RV and travel. That way, the worst case (have to come home early while the lease is still in effect and need a place to stay, we could get a spot in an RV park).
