Sell or Keep It?

  im buying a condo and was woundering if now is the best time to sell my two family home or should i rent it out with an option to buy or just rent it out untile the housing markit improves.
i am 70 years old and not real landlord material so any advice u give me would be appreciated
 
 

You're right to be wary of becoming a landlord.  It's not as simple as some people think and I can't see you're trying to learn the job at this point.  My guess is that you should sell now.
