Be prepared, but don't lose sleep over "what if" scenarios.

Pretty sure you will be ok either way so I would t lose too much sleep over it.  

It's mild insanity and recipe of long-term failure.If I counted up the amount of times I could have told an investor I told you so because I gave them sound advice and watched them not follow it and lose money, I could fly to the moon private.

They of course lose us as a buyer now and subject themselves to what the market will be at that time, which we cannot predict.I understand the rentback scenario.

You only lose your money if you sell when it is down.

I think big factor contributing to de-railmemt is losing focus on that one thing we specialize in.

It's a very small nuance, but could mean the difference between keeping a good tenant and losing one.

How about capital gains where you will lose 15-25% of your profit to taxes when you finally sell it?  

However we would temporarily lose cash flow.

The longer you take the longer it will take.I'd rather a $1000 loss than to prolong the situation and lose the grand along with several more months of possible rent and aquiring more and more structure damage to the property.
