Usually holding costs and lost opportunity costs far outweigh the gain in sales price.I would also have multiple exit strategies and if prices dropped more than I wanted could I keep it as a long-term investment and have the rent cover my expenses.

You shouldn't need to send multiple reminders; tenants are generally aware of their rent due dates and are conscious of any delays.
