Just based on what you said I would sell now and cash the equity out at the peak of the market.Then take the cash and invest elsewhere where you can stretch that currency to get the most bang for the buck.This would be better than treading water.You might have NOI now but if the market collapses and other owners are having a hard time meeting debt service rents will fall fast and there goes most of your NOI.Some people say people get LUCKY when they sell.For astute investors it is not about being lucky but analyzing the market for cycles.EVERYTHING CYCLES.The only question is how long each cycle will last before changing.For that you look at a bunch of metrics to make the best educated guess.
