Reinvest or Hold Cashflow Negative

[Michael Battler]

I purchased a property a year ago from a family member that was renting their townhouse. The townhouse was sold to me below market value with no realtor fees. The house also came with steady tenants already renting for 2 plus years. The propert generates negative cash flow after all the expenses are added up. Raising rent to create positive cashflow is not a viable option since it would create vacancy and no guarantee of finding a steady tenant to replace the current ones. Should I consider selling this property to buy a positive cash flow property or does the equity gained with zero vacancy worth hanging on to since the tenants have no plans on moving?

Has it gained equity?  If so how much?  

Are you also budgeting capex reserves/replacement?

Can you sell it at market value and profit and find a better replacement?
