If managing it yourself feels unsustainable in the long run, hiring a good property manager could give you more peace of mind.Since a 1031 exchange or like-kind replacement doesn’t seem to be a good fit for your current situation, you could consider a HELOC if you need to tap into the equity for other investments without selling the property, although rates are high so this would eat up your cash flow.

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.

Back again with few more questions to seek experts input.I am currently looking to shortlist some locations for my first rental investment property.When you look location what factors do you consider to pick the right location with good cash flow?

Would cash-flow very little.Obviously, a combination of the above is possible (pre-sell all but a few units, nullifying the profits, and therefore taxation).My feeling is that the first option would allow me to use profits to build something bigger (e.g., acquire another plot). 

Look at the current reviews and see how people feel about the place.

Feel free to DM me, if you'd like to chat about your plans. 

Best of luck on the investment journey, feel free to reach out if I can be of any assistance!
