And truthfully nothing needs to be cured, we live a lovely life and could stay in the rat race with relative comfort.

He has a horse training business so we have variable owner distribution amounts  (anywhere between $50k-$200K annually) on top of our two salaries (total $8,000 monthly) and our monthly rental income (net after expenses approximately $4,600/monthly)... but I don't want this deal to just ZAP all our cashflow.I'm trying to look at it from more directions than just "paying it off" this since it seems like we will have a better shot at retaining it for a few years then selling as Dallas gets closer.  

@Joe Villeneuve its where he keeps his horse

You'd be best served to contact your state's real estate department and get the facts directly from the horse's mouth on this one.

When it comes to Columbia Falls, Coram, Hungry Horse, etc. they see tremendous activity in the summer, but kind of fall off in the winter time. 

My overall intent is financial freedom and to one day, leave my corporate job and get out of the rat race.  

I've been doing electrical work for 30 years, and my wife and I want to get out if the rat-race!

One was a "Milker's Cottage" on a horse farm in Virginia. 

However if you find that your previous lender is out of alignment by a few thousand dollars, it's probably time to switch horses.

We can beat a dead horse all night but once you sell, that asset is dead.
