Because it is raw land, it won't be much money in your situation.My advice is to contact the developer, show him/her this post, and come to an agreement for a redemption.

My advice come with no bias or conflict of interest.  

No advice as I think my savings account earns maybe 1%, so I'd also love to hear from others.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,West

20 townhomes sounds like it would be sales, but I don't like to assume. 

I have already met with and spoken with a couple through my current work (both active and recently "retired") that didn't seem all that eager to get into the topic, or interested even offering advice beyond "I wouldn't recommend it."
