I personally would sell it.Your return from real estate is two items - Cash Flow + Appreciation.What is the annual rate of appreciation you are getting, approximately?

My personal preference for a buy and hold would be an already established area (or an area that's still gentrifying, but has already seen significant progress). 

That will be the best spot to meet an investor friendly agent in person or at least meet other investors in your markets that can help connect you to the right agents.

On more than one occasion I’ve talked with a person or two that was offering real estate coaching and I found out very quickly that either it was not what they were advertising or they was not far enough along to be coaching anyone except maybe a complete newbie or maybe it wasn’t the strategy for me.Anyway, that’s my ramble for this morning.

Also, personalized post card size info/thank you card with the top 5 restaurant/bars or attractions in the area.

None of this has anything to do with your personal tax return.

I personally have success in doing flips with my partner here in Ohio.Lakewood and Edgewater are gentrifying neighborhoods in Cleveland.

This is one of the best ways to scale a portfolio while keeping low out-of-pocket costs.Big Picture: The Best Move for You•If you need funds now, a HELOC in your name makes sense—but keep the rental in your personal name to avoid triggering the due-on-sale clause.

Imagine making millions of dollars over the course of your career and then having to pay 30-50% every year to uncle sam instead of compounding that cash over time.This is exactly what real estate professionals have learned to mitigate.To reduce their taxable income, they just buy a building every year, do a cost seg, and use depreciation to reduce their tax liability dramatically.Their personal wealth snowball grows much larger and much faster than their W2 counterparts who give most of their money back to the government each year.Following this strategy as a real estate professional is one of best ways to end up with a much larger net worth at the end of your career.

For my personal portfolio I use a modified spreadsheet amortization by VERTEX, available in Google Docs.
