Advice on whether to sell or hold

[Brandon M.]

Hello all, I'm new to BP and new to the real estate world.

I purchased my first property about 7 years ago and it's current estimated value is about $7k less than what I purchased it for.  

For the last 2 years, I've been renting the property out for just enough to cover the mortgage.  I am in the military and soon moving back to the same area and plan on moving in for 2 years.  

My concern is that the property is just tying up my money and perhaps not worth holding onto.  Should I look to sell it or hold onto with hopes that the value will increase or use it as a rental property down the road?

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Brandon
