property renovation

My cost of the rental house after renovation is $100k. I can rent it for $850/mo (roughly 8% return after property taxes/ins.) or I can sell it for $150K (and pay around 25% income taxes) or I can take an equity loan for part of the value, get some income and buy the next rough diamond. Ideas?
