I appreciate the different perspectives guys, thanks. I wasn't expecting a response from someone with local market knowledge, but @Account Closed , since you're probably familiar with it, the condo is located within a block from the Beltline in the Old Fourth Ward on Edgewood Ave - one of the "hotter" areas in the city due to the influx of new development and gentrification projects.

That being said, would you still hold the same opinion?

Again, I thank each of you for your replies - they've been a tremendous help. Based on your feedback, it's looking like the best course of action is to sit tight and bump rent up upon lease renewal to increase cash flow.

Thank you both very much for the quick and informative replies. Greatly appreciate it!

If I may ask another question regarding holding onto the property, would you recommend moving forward with a refinance? My current mortgage rate resets annually. Unfortunately, I don't recall what the cap is on the reset, but I'm conservative in nature and would gladly give up a little short term cash flow for long term security and piece of mind.

I have a studio loft in downtown Atlanta that I could likely sell for $135,000. I currently owe about $107,000 on it and have it rented out to an amazing tenant who has never called me with the first concern over her two year lease, which expires at the end of February, next year. She's paying $950 which is below market value, but I gave her a break for signing a two year lease. I'm cash flowing it by about $50/month.

My question is this: would it be more advantageous to list if for sale March 1st or should I attempt to continue renting it out (likely at an increased rate)? I currently have an ARM on the property and I'm sure rates will be rising in the not-so-distant future, so I assume it would be prudent to refinance. I have 20 years left on the mortgage and it's currently sitting at 3% even. I'd hate to refi into a higher rate, but I assume it would be wise from a CYA perspective if I were to hold onto the property.

If I need to include more information in order to receive a response, I'm happy to do so.

Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to your replies.
