Feeling trapped need help
So I bought my first home in 2010 in Huntington Beach with a first time home buyer assistance program. The program gave me 100k interest free, however it’s an equity share program where they will get 100% of 20% of the equity during the first few years I’m in the home gradually decreasing the more years I’m in the home. Stipulations are that it needs to be my primary residence. I really want to keep my house and buy another with low money down live in it for a year or a few then repeat the process. Can anyone come up with a creative idea on this or am I stuck and have to sell give HB their equity share and start over? Thanks

@Justin Furtado I have some additional questions for you.
The program gave me 100k interest free. Question: Is this a second trust Deed or is this wrapped into the original first they gave to you?
however it’s an equity share program where they will get 100% of 20% of the equity during the first few years. I’m in the home gradually decreasing the more years I’m in the home. Question: You have been in there 10 years? How is the breakdown on the equity share exactly?
Stipulations are that it needs to be my primary residence. Question: This is normal, so I am guessing that the equity in the home has increased close to 100% since purchase? Was this a city of Huntington Beach Program?
Good investing...
