My overall expenses would decrease from my current SFH, but I want to make sure this is something that will be worthwhile to hold and rent out in the future.Any feedback on whether or not to move forward? 

While Fannie Mae predicts price decreases in the next year (see below), we really won't know until we get there.

However, as rents have risen, I believe that I should be fine, even in the event of a 20% rent decrease in the neighborhoods with my rentals.As for the future, things may well flatten out.

Filter last 6 months, filter for similar BR/BTH with +-5-10% of the square footage, sort high to low, and then you have a list of the top-tier closes for that housing product (hopefully they are renovated if that's your end goal), with the list decreasing in value as you scroll down.

For example, for the buyer, the lease option might not be so great in housing market value in decreasing trend, but it will serve better for the seller. 

You're definitely giving up return on equity by focusing on paying off debt, but you're also decreasing your risk and amount of work.

They’ve torn down a great deal of derelict and abandoned homes,  and crime has been on the decrease there as well.
