I frequently see where one party is awarded the property and debt and is mandated to sell or refinance it within a certain timeframe to have the other party removed from the note/mortgage.

They want to sell for as much as possible.Use the broker's pro forma as a thumb to the wind guide for your interest along with the rest of the offering memo (right location, asset class, etc.). 

I actually tried to beg the city to let us sell it to the fire dept to burn it down for "training". 

Just ask the owner what are you going to do with the money if you sell for cash??

I almost exclusively sell bank foreclosures for a large asset management company, and I also do a lot of marketing for wholesale deals.

I wanted to be able to help educate people, especially the underserved community, about real estate, whether buying, selling, and assisting with the process of foreclosures and short sales.

And IMHO, the prices are dropping big time (on avg. 10K/month...houses that were above 300K a year ago are not selling at 250K now) and the available rentals saturation is worse than I seen during summer season (with rents dropping from 1$-1.08/sqft to 0.8$/sqft and very little contacts and applications...just go in Zillow and look how many rentals are on the market now in Kyle, New Braunfels or Converse). 

So I have a house I am going to be selling in a couple weeks, but I’m confused about what the agents are saying.  

Other RIAs who sell DSTs will provide documentation with their full analysis of each deal they recommend.

They are more useful IMO for getting chunks of equity right off the bat thru value add and then either realizing that equity by flipping it and using for a down payment on something bigger or hold a couple years and then sell at that point to do that then.
