That was the right move for us at the time, but let me tell you, boy oh boy does it hurt every time I realize i sold a 3 bed 2.5bath home in dublin schools that I bought for under $200K...its the one that got away and honestly will haunt me forever...or until i go back and get it again...but seriously find a way to keep that thing fo the long term especially with that rate. 

Or you could decide that you're going to hang in there for family/legacy reasons, and keep raising the rent whenever the market supports... and whenever you turn over a set of tenants.

I am primarily focused on appreciation, but would like some cashflow to keep the investment profitable year-to-year.
