If this property is hard to rent, or is functionally obsolescent (only 1 bathroom, no yard, etc), or has deferred maintenance that will be costly, or is in a location that is not appealing to Tenants, then maybe a sale would be a good option in favor of a property that has better Tenant appeal, which will likely increase rent and avoid long vacancies in between Tenants.An option to consider....

It is located in an area that attracts college students/employees, working class families, and military families.

I love New England and I’m from the Cary/raleigh area of NC so those are my top locations.

Hi Michael, I'd be glad to help answer some questions for you and/or locate a duplex that would work well for your goals.Feel free to connect!

Your new place should turn into your new business location as well. 

Would need to know about locations of your buildings and current rents to see if there is anything that can be done now to get numbers a bit better.

But after a flip, you will probably sit on the market for a while depending on the location approximate nearest city. 

I am located in Western, North Carolina, right outside of Asheville.

Its going to really depend on your location, scope of work, and finishes.

The market between the 2 locations & resident class (Especially if you plan to self mange or find a PM company), Your future goals and the costs associated with moving and transferring to a new hospital.
