Any advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Rent out or sell?

Housing

I would really appreciate any advice anyone would be willing to give. My wife and I purchased a home in 2010 for $80,000 with a 4.8% interest rate, there’s $51,000 left of principal to pay off. It’s now valued at $326,000. The Neighbourhood is not the best but it’s up-and-coming and my in-laws are renting it out for the price of paying the mortgage and making repairs here and there and have been for the past 12 years. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the pros of cons of selling it versus, keeping it. Raising the rent? What the future housing marketplace might look like and if it’s a good idea to pocket the profit, short term or long-term renting or selling? Thank you so much!
