My original plan was to buy a 2/1 condo or apartment with an FHA, and rent out the other room however, I've learned that's almost impossible since most condos are coops and do not allow subleases.

Just that the market combined with your state of mind tells me clean break.You can sell all as a package and 1031 into a passive investment and collect your 7% - 8% for the next 20 years but its too small for a big group without a  huge hair cut. 

If your house is still mortgaged, it was originally mortgaged as owner occupied, not an investment property.
