The good thing about the houseGood monthly cash flowGood interest rateIf its a headache property, I would sellIf it doesn't have much maintenance and you have good tenants, I would keep it.If you do decide to sell, you have about $200,000 of equity which you can buy 2-4 houses with when the market is more favorable.
