To use all of your cash flow to gum stuff together for twenty years to only gain appreciation is silly.

If yes,keep it and let the tenant follow their pipe dreams of home ownership somewhere else.Don't make their problems yours.If she needs section 8 to pay her bills,she can't safely finance a stick of gum let alone your property and you'd be headed for a long an expensive foreclosure before long.Now if YOU need to sell because you can't afford to repair it or it will need major repairs like a new roof,appliances,etc. and you haven't been setting aside money every month to pay for them well then that's different.Put it on the Bigger Pockets marketplace and let one of us buy it from you and relieve you of the burden.Good luck.

With homes that qualify for normal loans, cash offers are stronger than buyers with loan contingencies as long as there's not a bunch of other contingencies in the offer gumming it up, anyway  -- so you can sometimes beat out other offers, even higher offers, that require loan approval, but many sellers would consider a solid offer with a loan pre-approval over a much lower cash offer, so the pricing benefit of all cash is reduced in homes that readily qualify for loans.
