Employers such as UTSA, Valero, National Security Agency, Lackland AFB, Kelly Field, Medical Center are all within a 15 min drive.

They are a top medical software maker started in one room in 1979.  

I'm in the medical field as well.

Having a $25k property that appreciates slower than inflation, and with very little cashflow, is a slow process and does not allow you to scale well.

FHA requires a down payment, those rural homestead mortgage programs require a down payment and those first responder/teacher/medical  mortgage program require some kind of down payment.

And we have not approached replacement value yet either so there is still room for more slower property appreciation.

It will be slower in the beginning but, as you start buying more properties and completing the rehabs, you will be able to purchase more properties (and bigger ones).

This is especially true if it were a short blip due to an event like medical debt.  

The question now is if we should continue with the original plan of renting it out or just sell it and use the cash to fund some flips and pay off some medical bills.Here's the financial situation:Currently owe 91k on the house, comps in my neighborhood suggest I could get 175-185 realistically.
