When to Sell Your Investment Real Estate 

This depends on your goals, the area, the market, etc. Many people hold the real estate until they double in value. Others hold them until the mortgage is paid off.  Still others hold them for a specified period such as 7 or 10 years. Some investors don’t sell at all unless the neighborhood peaks out and values start to go down. If this is an investment in your future, you should evaluate this investment just like any other. What is my return on this investment and let that guide you in your decision.

You would be smart to monitor your real estate investments on a consistent basis. This is not to say you should panic and sell every time there is a little glitch in the market. But if the investment return falls to unacceptable levels, you may want to sell and do a 1031 tax free exchange into a property that is providing a better return.

Some investors hold the properties until they are free and clear (assuming the values are stable). They can then sell them by taking a down payment and carrying the mortgage themselves. This can provide them with a good, stable cash flow for many years. There are many alternatives and you should be aware of all of them.
