We have a retaining wall in the backyard that I technically own sitting right behind a fence. I guess we could pull the fence down and elevate it more?

The home was bought for $140k and appraises for $320k now. It has a 2.75% interest rate and $711 mortgage. It rents for $1,925/month. It cash flows just fine, but, as I approach the end of the two in five window, the capital gains I would take if I sold later would be in the neighborhood of another $50,000.
Not knowing all the details I would keep it as a rental at least until the 5 year mark and then sell it doing a 1031 exchange. Avoid the taxes and find either another rental or a nice vaca second home.

Doubt it is the height. Proper french draining around the wall is needed. Since you have a known water issue, might be good to hire a company with such experience.

If I’m not living in it, I sell it.
I have no aptitude or patience for being a landlord in any capacity.
Others may do very well with it.
I would not enjoy it.
