Some landlords value control over making more money.

Banking on a hope that "if" something that you can't control happens, you "might" start to get positive CF starting in a few more years (also losing money) so you might recover all of your losses in about 10 years, is ridiculous. 

If I were you and could do a refinance and get all or most of my investment out of the property, I would hold on and wait for the market to come back next year.You can get up to 80% LTV on a DSCR Refinance.I assume you are using a Property Manager, I would take a little more control of my future tenants and call their previous landlord to see if they made any repairs to the property while they were there, how many time they were late on their rent, etc. 

Iso g this info you can better determine projected vacancy based on factors you can control on top of the fact that you could have other amenities or the best presentation that would help minimize vacancy.

You're taking all of the up front risk with zero control or equity upside of the property.My recent example of $11k is for a 1200 sq ft SFH that included a couple of appliances.

After that, the tenant takes responsibility for pest control. 

If he can't/won't control his kids or whoever is causing the toilet stoppage, then he will learn after a few $ repair bills

If you want to learn the business up close and have more control, staying local could be better.My honest advice?
