Don't leave yourself strapped and vulnerable otherwise, you're good to go.

@Paula Matli Hi Paula,Your plywood floor sounds awesome and I have see many pics online now that you started a trend:).

My wedding is coming up , so I am little strapped as well.

Specifically, I had to seismic-strap the water heater and install a carbon monoxide detector.

Cash straps you down and inhibits you from closing more deals.

After reading your post, I think it's important to consider your family's goals when deciding whether to sell your condo or keep it as a rental property.If you need to replenish your savings quickly and it is a priority, then selling the condo is the best option.However, if you're not strapped for cash, and you're comfortable with the potential expenses of being a landlord, then in my opinion, keeping the condo could be a good option.

"Partial exchanges" are very common and can be very useful to investors With large gain and equity positions who are strapped for cash.  

Mat, Simon and Thomas, thanks for the compliments.Peter,I don't really like rentals, so I don't really look at cashflow, just profit potential for resale.

However, while their support team is responsive I get the feeling they are strapped for help because the response I receive sometimes when reporting issues I've had is that no one else seems to be having the same issue and I'll need to do some testing myself by creating test bookings, etc.

Many jobs you don't need permits to do your work but a sign is like putting out a welcome mat to a city inspector.
