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.

Yes you could pull those funds out of the 401k now to invest in your own name, but you will have to pay taxes and penalties on the amount you distribute prematurely which would not be wise thing to do.

I definitely jumped in prematurely..

If you are wondering if you will qualify for financing, it sounds to me like your offer might be premature and, that you might be risking your earnest money.

Most properties in war zones (that I've seen) were rehabbed with bubble gum and duct tape.

I guess my concern is if I sell premature and the property values continue to increase and I miss out but there is no telling and I just can't see the prices increasing all that much in the near term but perhaps after the next dip which could be another 5-10 years (who knows?)

Also, you should be charging/paying at least 1 thing per month on each card (a pair of socks, pack of gum, whatever) so that your payment history can improve your score over time.

I suspect the rain, wind, or possibly a tree limb caused pre mature failure of the roof.

It's like chewing gum and walking down the street. 

It could be as simple as a bad control valve, which shuts off the heater prematurely.
