Depending on your loan balance, you may be under water.If you will need to purchase another home to live in after the sale, and you purchase a home around $350,000, you may have to put down $70,000 and that will likely eat up all of your sale proceeds if any.So, it seems like the choice is to either to rent your current property for $285 cash flow, then purchase another home to live in from your savings, or sell the current property, then purchase another home to live in from your savings, or stay in your current property and buy a new rental property from your savings,I would stay in the current home, because you have already upgraded it to your liking, you would not have to go through the trouble of packing up everything and moving, you are already familiar with the neighborhood, and your savings could be invested in a new rental property with much better cash flow, with the tax advantages of interest and depreciation right offs, and with another property to get appreciation from.
