Sell or Rent? Condo in Northern California

Little about the property. 2bed/2bath 900sqft. Purchased while I was in college and got the $8k tax credit and lived rent free for three years (roommates essentially paid most of the mortgage.) I re-tiled the bathrooms and put in all new flooring/baseboards while I lived there (around $9000 in improvements) the zillow estimate is probably a little low as it is an investor (not updated) condo community.

The condo has been rented out since I graduated to the same person for a few years. Tenants are not an issue as the college is close (Sacramento State) however I rent a little below market value to keep the same tenants; to me the extra $100 a month is not worth them leaving.

Looking at investments (Vanguard, IRA, 401k) I am not sure the condo is worth keeping after the lease is up in August? If they re-sign I may just keep it since I don't make/lose any money but there is some risk with it. I already own a $500k house in the Bay Area so not sure what I would do with the money besides maybe get engaged and invest the rest. I carry no debt besides the condo and house.


Sell? Refinance? Thoughts?
