The amount you pay in cash generally would merit a disproportionate reduction in what you're paying for the equity.  

I am trying to decide if I should keep renting a home or if I should sell it and invest the equity.Below are basic facts and then concerns I have.3 Bed 2 bath rancher with one car garageFenced in backyardBuild in 1997Located near military installation (minor reduction affecting the local installation ~5%)Cash flows ~$120 monthly after PM feesEst value at $103,900Mortgage at ~$75,000HVAC replaced four years agoRoof original to home I am an absentee landlordVacancy rate, < 5% over past 7 yearsConcerns: Maintenance, roofing, paint, rugs, appliances, etc are eating my budget.Recent $1800 whole interior painting, exterior roof leaks, and wood rot pending.I know the roof will need to be replaced with 5-7 years.

The market has slowed just a touch, and ridiculously priced homes are sitting and even having price reductions.

The attorneys generally get a percentage of the reduction won for their services.

I need to try and get the property tax on my new property reduced. Town recently (last October) had a reval and my property is way off from both what I paid for it in November and how the town has it measured for livi...

That would strong affect Yelm, Lacey and Spanaway in my opinion as those are strong military rental markets.Hi Ryland,It's difficult to predict the reduction in forces of the military.  

If so, how much of a reduction so it won't get declined as well?  

Expense reduction is a great way to increase cashflow and create equity.Specialized or Niche Housing can be a huge boost to income.A buddy using Student Housing gets 5K a month from a 4 unit renting per bed after expenses.Another using Vacation rentals has an old Victorian with a bunch of beds rents out each bed $200 a night to tourists.Good luckPaul

That could lead to occupancy drops and rent reductions or staying flat with an overbuilding bubble when supply catches up with and passes demand.
