I'd probably even stop putting into 401k, get rid of any car payment you have...really downsize your whole life as much as possible so that after paying for your basics...and I mean truly basics (eating Ramen, cereal, and rice for your meals) then you can pay down the condo as quickly as possible while taking advantage of all the tax write offs (you can now claim the repairs to the condo to offset the money coming in from the rent)Now is your time to hustle so that when you come out the other side of this you're in a better position, and you'll have learned a ton more than that.Best of luck!
