I talk to so many people who regret not getting a PM up front because they are having problems or high eviction rates doing it alone.

Rising values of the properties bailed us out of a potentially disappointing investment.  

If not I’d consider staying with the rental and raising the rent to market rate at lease renewal in May.

What is your current rate and what are you being quoted?

With that low interest rate, you will have paid down a lot of equity in the deal and should be able to finance with a bank.

I have a 2.5% interest rate on the balance of the mortgage. 

And you are looking at an interest rate around 7% instead of over 10%. 

Median Household Income: $68,000, higher than the state average, supporting strong rental demand.Rental Market Trends Rental Occupancy Rate: Over 95%, indicating high demand for rental properties.

Your interest rates are low. 8.5% is around the "market rate" for owner finance buyers right now...30-yr, fully-amortizing2.

However, Austin proper has a high barrier to entry due to the sharp rise in property values in recent years.
