Over the weekend my wife and I went to do some work on a condo that we own in Leesburg Va. It is a relately small space that we used to call home. It was just the 2 of us to begin with. Then we thought getting a dog was a good idea. Our "baby" only chewed the chair and safety gate.

Then we had our first child. The 4 of us lived happily shortly after. We closed on our single family home on the day our son turned a year old. We have been renting this space since we left Va 9 years ago.

There is a quandy now. Do we try to keep renting this space or try and sell? It is 3 hours away and can be a challenge to deal with.

Prices are headed north once again and this might be a good time to part ways with this unit. Still mulling things over.

Great question, Kevin! I certainly can't tell you what to do, but my personal opinion is that this is such a hot market, and it's a challenge to take care of, and it's far away, I would sell it, make some money, and get on with your life. You can probably find a Realtor to list it Best of luck!!!

If you can make some profit and take a load off your back, it may be a good time. That said, if the rents are good, as is the upside, why not check with a local that can help take care of it for you while you're up in PA?

I would check into someone to manage it for you who's local to the property. Then do the math... cost of management, taxes, upkeep, etc., and see if the return is better to hold it or to sell it. Might be good to sell and reinvest in a rental property close to home.

Kevin, thinking if the prices are increasing nicely, find a property manager and keep it for a few more years. You can take advantage of a higher price down the road.
