You already have a tenant who is demonstrating responsibility, so it is more assessing the risk of the person moving in.

You accountant should know how much equity you have in the property and can help guide you but you can do the following:1)  Sell and do a 1031 exchange to delay any gains tax.2)  Sell on land contract to an owner occupant- they would be responsible for maintenance (Maybe include a home warranty with the sale) and you no longer have to pay a property manager. 

Definitely looking forward to other's responses to this.
