MN’s COVID state of emergency officially ends Thursday – Twin Cities

If it was me, use it first to pay off all other debts (except primary mortgage), then put it in savings to build a nice emergency fund, and then you'd have to do the math on refinancing and your payments to see if pulling out the equity would be worth it.

Call the non-emergency phone number and let them know you have abandoned property.

4) Did you get a HELOC on prior house before moving, so you can tap into equity if emergency?

If your concerns are having too much of your portfolio invested in RE, then it might be wise to continue saving for a property down the road.Numbers might also make a difference here; for example, if the 25% of remaining savings is adequate for reserves for this condo and an emergency fund, then it might not be an issue.

The other part of me says keep all my savings for travel and emergencies, and finance all of it, and stretch it out for 20 years. 

After you congratulate yourself you will want to send a letter, call, text and door knock for each unit letting them know who you are, how to pay, reach you, submit work orders, emergency details etc. 

Rhode Island is still in a state of emergency, in the middle of a housing crisis and is a tenant state. i would do my best to make it work with them, if they get a bad taste in their mouth they could just stop paying and eviction could take forever. 

For sure I would leave a month or two of reserves in case of emergency but we currently have 8-10 months sitting there.
