It all depends on your goals and desirability of the property. If you can sell without financing and you want the cash that’s the way to go.
The risk is you are second behind a bank so if they default on the first mortgage you are in second position so you would need to step in and buy the property back to ensure you do not get wiped out in a foreclosure.
