I'm leaning toward the decision to sell, as the expected rewards do not seem worth the risk (or opportunity cost). 

Just remember to consider the local job market, population growth, and rental demand when making your decision.

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Most likely you don't know much about the ground level work and must trust your professionals to give you the right advices for you to make decisions on.

For the first part of your question even if you were working with a realtor, I don't personally know many that have a true pulse on rehab costs and I wouldn't make any investment decisions based on their rehab cost projections.My suggestion would be to study how to evaluate the Big 6 rehab costs: roof, siding, windows, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing. 

Hi, welcome yes investing in real estate in is a great decision if you have any questions please reach out.

If they deem your roof needs work when they evaluate it, you will have to re-roof first.If I had it to do over again with all the proper facts in front of me, I would probably have made a different decision.

However, people don't follow this and will rent out or move to an LLC after closing, your decision.

Any issues with fees, management, or decision-making?

Ultimately, your decision should align with your comfort level regarding your finances, personal needs, and the housing market outlook.
