I still owe some money on it still paying on it.. so naturally i want to sell it a price where i can atleast get my money back that i've paid on it....

What is the nature of the business?

When interest rates rise people spend more on interest and less on equity so prices stall, fall or maybe grow less quickly.Stick with Jon's initial comment.

Do an online search for "short sale processing"… It seems to be a growing business.

He suggested duplexes might be a good idea because we could both get our own 'home' to live in, and when we are ready to move out, we could either sell it, or if need be rent it out.He also advocated flipping homes because of its short term nature and he thinks he can get cheap rates for contracting.

Mostly due to the properties being out of their region or the speculative nature of these loans.Understandable, but this is before I even mention anything about the loan specifics or investment background.

Having a good attorney, banker/financial advisor & CPA are excellent individuals to have in your contact list to help grow your investments and returns on investments.

Don't just leave it laying around after you're pulled it off, or it will grow legs.Jon

The property has to be 3 acres or more, dedicated to growing timber or agriculture crops or animals.

Which is making it near impossible to grow as now is the time in which many great deals are available in the market.
