Currently, we are leasing the property, generating a net profit of $380 per month and living in Missouri.We are contemplating the decision to sell this property and potentially gain $239-278K payment to buy additional investment properties in Missouri given the rising rental rates in the area, we anticipate increasing our rent and potentially securing a net monthly profit of $780 (annual$9,360).While we acknowledge a monthly profit, our concern stems from the apprehension that the property might not fetch as high a price in the next five years or that our HOA fees and taxes could escalate.Given this situation, what course of action would you recommend?

I have contemplated the lease idea which I will do.

Are there any unsaid learnings along the way that you would share with people contemplating on going the route of new builds?
