I think in the short term this property will drop in value but looking long term and don’t care about the value I care about the cash flow and loan pay down that will get me thru the next 30 years.  

During the housing collapse, we still had places where properties went up in value.

Id love to go thru with it but I would feel more comfortable renegotiating to hopefully accommodate for any drops in values in the upcoming months.

I had planned to do either a HELOC or a cash out refi to have cash on hand for investing more, but with the current conditions I expect it will soon go down in value.
