Is now a good time to sell, or thoughts on holding and turning it into a rental property for a few more years and enduring the upkeep costs?

And in the very end, the journey through hell will make you a stronger person with a valuable skillset that no one can ever take away from you.So if you're prepared to endure the most challenging (and by the far the most difficult) thing you've ever attempted to do in your entire life, and you're the kind of person that doesn't mind suffering very badly for a very extended period of time.... then send me a PM, and I'll give you a call.

We know all the suffering the Argives and the Trojans endured, by the gods’ will, on the wide plains of Troy.

I love real estate so much I love being on the front line and enduring the ups and down (more so the ups of course) and learning as I go. 

Hello @Jessyca Jones I would suggest no and low money down - Brandon Turner ( this book will give you some insight on how to invest in RE multiple ways using CREATIVITY instead of CASH) and managing rental properties- Brandon turner this book is by far my favorite because he literally goes through every trial tribulations you will endure and lays out what it means to be a landlord.

At the same time, getting another job to save up money for education or to get in, would also be a great opportunity to test your endurance.

The rent you get is above market also to make up for the pain you endure initially and in a once a year inspection.
