Yes. Only pros!

You can. The con is that your debt service is going to be high so you need to figure out what will happen if you have an extended vacancy

Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.

1) Lock in the appreciation & sell now. Use some for renovations/other investments.

2) Keep for another 2-3 years & rent out for a small cash flow (<100/month if self-managing), get a HELOC if needed. Note it would not pass my investment criteria if buying today.
