I would recommend keeping it on if you plan to move into it (ideally immediately so you can keep the prop tax discount)  or if it has sentimental value.  

You'll have to develop your own business plan and strategies.

Bottom line for us was a tax-efficient exit plan takes time. 

that is not how cash flow works.it's also going to be challenging to get lending on properties priced that low - it may be difficult to get standard conventional financing.and finally, the lowest prices are going to be in the most challenging neighborhoods... which will come with additional challenges.some suggestionscan you spend some time researching neighborhoods more broadly, going to REIA meetings, and building a network?  

Quote from @Frank Barletta: I started spending a lot of time researching new rental markets for myself and recently came across Parma, OH.

The only reason to buy a home while still in flux is if the long-term plan is for investment only.

All of us who have done this long enough have had our 'plans' go awry on different investments from time to time. 

I have a house, I plan to sell this spring.

So we bought into the idea that it’s a great investment. we went non contingent over asking but just not happy with the way the deal went .. reluctance of our agent to spend time on the property  and when we went for inspection with sellers inspector the seller agent was present and that didn’t give us room to ask questions and really inspect and feel the property to our liking… I am not sure if it’s just a feeling that goes away or will this be a terrible mistake .. earnest money is also a very large sum

I took a leap of faith, invested in a run-down apartment complex, and with hard work and strategic planning, I transformed it into a profitable venture.
