It is all a guess, and no one knows what the future will hold.  1 year ago, everyone thought the world was about to come to an end and property values would plummet, and yet here we are in one of the hottest real estate markets I have heard of.The reason financial professionals say to anticipate staying put for 10-15 yrs is historically, we will be back where we are today, even if the Great Depression hits tomorrow.  

If the economy takes a dump and home value plummets, they could limit our line of credit, or maybe even call it due?!

I didn't buy it at a great price but when Covid happened and interest rates plummeted, I used it as an opportunity to refinance. 

Likely tax increases to follow the pandemic response, election coming up, interest rates so low that property values are jumping (to later be followed by a plummet due to foreclosures after the tax increase?)

Unemployment has skyrocketed, GDP has plummeted, little traction has been made on the virus in six months, asset prices remain elevated, and we are in a recession. 

Then, if home values plummet you will be stuck with a negative cash flowing property that is underwater.. 

When the price of property extremely goes down or gets plummet, I doubt that the price of rent would not get the effect from it.

FICO score crushed for the foreseeable future.2. stress on banking and investors who buy their loans.. maybe they just stop buying investor loans from small time landlord properties and you will see your values plummet with no liquidity in the market  just like 08 to 2010.reality is there are work outs for landlords there is mortgage forbearance for those that actually need it etc.. keep in mind 80% of renters are paying rent.. and on BP at least if you read the super landlords on this site hardly any of them are not getting paid.. its not a big enough problem that is going to curry public favor.. you are in a small business you do this for profit and loss and for risk reward.. don't want the risks don't buy rentals.

Plummeting markets at other times.
