Amil, thanks for the numbers. In this case, I would suggest renting out the property but don't forget to include property tax, insurance, vacancies, repairs, etc. when including your cash flow. Right now is not a seller's market anyway so I think renting it out and observing the cash flow for the first several months is a good strategy. 

Hi Amil,

How much of an appreciation can you expect? How much rental income can you expect? 

Do you include the renovations in the cash flow analysis? It's great that you have a good relationship with your tenants and a good cash flow. I like the suggestions here and I think in a few months, you should let them know there's going to be a rent increase. I was going to say make sure you have a positive cash flow, when initially reading this post, but it's also important to not be below market-value. If they've been the same tenants since you first leased the properties, they'll probably understand. 

Good luck and congratulations.
