As long as you can afford the cash flow scenario comfortably, it would be great to hold for a few more years while the market continues to recover.I see the reasons for keeping as: you have an interesting revolving door of tenants, a Class A property where your quickly paying down your principle, great area of town, and you're young.If you need more income, then you should sell and turn your equity into a better cash producing portfolio.Great start to your investing career!

I'm beginning to look at homes for my first investment property and have a few questions..I've liked 2 of the properties that I've looked at so far.. one is a duplex that could produce about ~1300ish in rental income and costs 120k and the other is a quadplex that could bring in 2300 and costs 154k(rental estimates are if all the units were rented..

Theoretically you could structure these types of investments via crowd funding as debt or equity, but most income-producing assets can find relatively inexpensive bank debt so that is more economically for the debt and sponsors look to the "crowd" for the equity piece.
