My husband and I are both corporate engineers looking to retire from our current positions and move onto new challenges away from the current grind. 

If that timeframe does not work, you could look at a 60-Day rollover, but would want to make sure you do that correctly with good guidance.Your IRA owning real estate would not impact your disability status in any way. 

My question is if there is a secondary lien against the property was it satisfied during the sheriffs sale or will it just move up to first lien position upon exemption?

As security for the seller, I would then of course put her in 1st position lien holder with a mortgage.

It actually negatively impacted my social life because I hate going to the same stupid social events where people talk about mundane things like sports or reality TV.

RealtyShares has some positive features, including pretty good volume.

A sale will extend the time to get the house boarded up or renovated.I am not familiar with Probates and it seems they have let this house get into a bad position.

@Shiloh Lundahl Glad you brought this up...my position is counterintuitive to what 95% of investors base investment decisions on (cash flow).

But one of the main positives, is that the rate on the loan is at 3.625%. 

I was in the exact same position so I said it is ok, I will need 2 months of paycheck stubs, but then they told me they were self-employed and they owned and it work most off of cash.
