I'm admittedly under educated in that area.I've considered selling but ultimately decided against it because it's cash flowing and in an area that I expect will continue to appreciate greatly in the coming years.Been spinning my tires on REI and I really want to gain some traction and purchase more properties out of state, preferably in the south/Midwest.
