Should I sell or hold this investment property

[Liz Stewart]

I have this investment property in DFW, TX I bought in 2016 for $195K. It's in a city right next to a very good booming area with very good school district. This house has been paid off and has no mortgage. Rental income is $1680 in the past 2.5 years. Property tax+HOA+ insurance is around $6300. There is a high demand in this community for rental. There is quite a bit of appreciation and the property is now worth around $240K. But this property is in a mud district that we were not told when we bought it. We feel like the tax is quite high + there is a sign of declining tenant quality. There is a lot of rental in the same community and some of the tenant is under government subsidy. At the same time, there is a lot of big companies moving to the area. There is a lot of job opportunity and demand for rental. A lot of apartment is building right now. Should we sell the property OR should we keep it??

Hello. You can always 1031 exchange the property into something larger with better cash flow.
