Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

If it is, why can't you buy similar properties that you are renting with the money you make.If you get $200,000 annually(split proceeds with the other owner), you should be able to buy almost any type of property.

With pulling out your equity (or selling), you can diversify and buy more.I did sell one of my places and used that money to buy two others. 

The marginal returns drove me to seek other strategies.So, this is not a "bad" deal if you consider it more of a learning experience than one that will make you a lot of money. 

Harder to qualify for cheap/free money as you collect more homes. 

I beleive offering buyer agency fees will ultimately be where sellers should allocate most of their marketing money, not in listing fees. 

The advantages is that you can buy with low money down and will get a better interest rate.

If you do sell, think about where you’d put the money, whether into more passive investments like index funds or REITs, or possibly diversifying into a different market with better opportunities.If you decide to keep renting, you’re in a pretty solid spot right now.

While I do maintain a relatively modest percentage of my assets in money market instruments, corporate debt funds, and high dividend stocks, I remain most comfortable with the investments I specialize in and know best.  

Donating money to large (FEMA, Red Cross), local organizations or Go Fund Me pages would be the quickest way.
