I would consider selling if you have lived in the home the past 2 / 5 years since you have a decent amount of tax free equity in there but as long as you have a plan to reinvest those funds.By your numbers, since you have an amazing rate and high rents, I would consider renting it out if you believe your area will continue to grow in value.

So, often times they don't tell you they are wholesalers and act as if they plan to purchase the property themselves. 

Currently, I am making plans to setup to become a PML.

We are going to spend about 20K to bring it up to par but defiantly worth it.
