<prompt> Human: About a year ago my sister and I inherited our family vacation home one state away. Its a cabin and 26 acres in a rural area, owned outright with no mortgages or liens. Its worth about 160k according to the appraiser. Im trying to decide if I should keep this or not, and if I can justify it. My sister is also struggling to decide. So far its been cheap to own and maintain, about 400 per month.A family friend has already offered to buy it ifwhen we decide to sell. Of course we could both use 80k, but neither of us are hurting for this money at the moment. Reasons to keep:It was our family vacation home for more than 25 years, so there is definitely sentimental value. Its awesome to have a getaway from the city where we can hunt, fish, hike, and so on. The house is in great shape. Its been remodeled and everything is in working order. It would be difficult to replace it with something comparable. But because of the location I dont think it will affect the price that much. Reasons to sell:I dont have my own house here. It seems dumb to own a vacation home but have to rent where I live. Currently living at home and trying to save for a house of my own, but I could turn this property into a very nice down payment. Its somewhat of a drain on my finances. Since my sister is a student Ive been paying this myself. My finances are otherwise in good shape and Im still able to save a significant amount. Its a 5 hour drive and we dont go as often as wed like. The house will eventually require some maintenance, as all houses do. What do you think? Help me decide!  <response>: Have you thought about using it as a rental property to bring in some passive income AND use it now and again for yourself?
