@Rich Hupper   VA USDA are government backed.... 

First of all, it would be a restraint on alienation and the government cannot restrict how or when you transfer your property.Perhaps your attorney is thinking of a covenant in the contract, imposed by the short sale lender under HAFA, restraining a purchaser from reselling for 60 days?

The reason this doesn't bother me at the moment is that the town just received two grants from the federal government to have the mills in the neighborhood (remember this is an old mill village) assessed and the land cleared off and returned to an operable and appealing state.

The number one indicator of an impending pullback is that in december of 2013 the federal government ran a budget surplus.

My wife informed my about some sort of government-backed loans that ony require 10% down, contingent upon my business occupying at least 51% of the square footage.

I'm not familiar with your type of loan but my first house was a government backed loan and because of that we had to fix things on the property before we could close because the loan couldn't be closed with these issues.

Fort Collins has tons of government, some tech stuff and small businesses.

(The bedrooms are small though).The owner had a print out from Vision Government Solutions, Inc.
