My guess is in that price range and limited window, you will not make enough additional appreciation to make renting it out make sense, so unless you planned on keeping it forever as a rental you are probably best off selling and cashing out.

In real estate, it is really about your cash on cash return, so the least amount of money you put into the deal, the better.What would come out of pocket at that point would be the difference in down payment, which in this price range tends to be limited.

I think they might have been referring to the Passive Activity Loss (PAL) limitations.

For many investors, an LLC acting as a Holding Company is going to offer the ability to manage the entity simply and provide limited liability protection.

This can help with limiting the time your unit sits vacant.These situations can get tricky, but I always recommend staying level headed during your interactions with the tenant.The worst case scenario is the tenant ends up unhappy that you don't want them to break the lease early and/or they don't want to pay for an early lease break (hopefully defined in your lease agreement with them) and ends up damaging your property, costing more, prior to their actual move out date.
