I'm aware condos won't appreciate that much, but for me it would be mainly just a place to settle down so as long as the prices remain steady I'm good.My other option is to invest into a couple of less expensive places in a city with a healthy rental market and just live abroad for a year or two.  

The fact remains thought that I haven't sold a property, rather my vested interest in a property that I have put a deposit on.  

I'd look over the title policy and hope for a flaw and/or use the remaining time trying to salvage the situation.Get ready to take this on the chin as part of your learning curve.

Pay-off the home with $100K cash (which is the current remaining loan balance) and take out another loan of $140K (home valued at $185K – $195K now) for 30yrs with expected interest rate of 4%-6% and use that for investing in other homes.2. 

Whether the neighbor is the neighbor from hell remains to be seen.

Year 1 principal pay down will be $1,800 or more than 3% of the remaining principal.

But I think its worth it to remain patient and stick to the strategy of buy low sell high, not buy high and hope to sell higher!

Will need to see more paperwork on those.On the type of financing: I will be putting down 20-25% and get a commercial loan on the remaining 75-80%.

I have worked the retail side of Real Estate and will continue to do so to remain active and informed on the growing real estate community here in Charleston.
