Pro and cons for keep the property:pro: 1. we are not losing much money on the rental property2. although appreciation increase ~5% for the past few years, potential is good3. familiar with local, we know real estate/loan agents, handyman, friends could help us handle any cases.cons:1. we could get tax deduction to sell it next year since it qualified for our primary house.2. remote management is frustrated. but hire manager to manage it almost eat all our cashflow2. the house is too large, not a good invest property for 5% increase per year, cash out and invest in something else MAYBE betterIt really cause me headache whether or not we should sell the property, it is on the line of making/losing money.
