UT Reader Asks: Should I Sell My Condo in DC?

In this installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a DC homeowner living in San Francisco inquires about the pros and cons of selling a property they own in DC.
In 2009, my husband and I bought a condo in Kalorama. Since then, we've moved to San Francisco, but have been holding on to our DC unit as a rental. The rent covers the mortgage, but doesn't bring in a positive cash flow.
We don't necessarily need the equity from selling the DC condo in order to buy a place in San Francisco, but are still weighing the pros and cons of selling. On one hand, there could be a benefit to holding onto the property for a few more years as it appreciates.
On the other, owning the condo takes up a certain amount of cognitive load, between managing tenants and dealing with various maintenance issues. Based on various DC market indicators, it also seems like a great time to sell right now.
I am curious to know what UrbanTurf readers think is the right decision. Are there any other factors that should tip our decision one way or the other?
