The investor in me has to be wiser about the decision and not worry about sentiment, look to reinvest in something else that will perform better for my family's future. 

@Dorian Gray - I think part of the answer to your question depends on the likelihood of needing more funding in the future and if you have another plan to slowly build up reserve funding.

The data is undeniable that there’s so much existing and future need for more capacity.

I would like to bring in more external investors in the future to fuel growth and form strong partnerships. 

My current monthly mortgage payment plus projected future mortgage payment (2900+2900 = 5800).

Plus the future rent income.  

And if you sell the house in the future and have qualified for the Section 121 exclusion, you can exclude up to $500,000 of gain if you are married, and $250,000 if you are single. 

I am definatley going to keep these posts for future reference.

Are you reducing my ability to network and conduct business and negatively impacting my future deal making ability by calling me a "fake investor"?

You are buying in the Smokies for future price appreciation, and letting other people pay off most of the asset.
