Sounds similar to my situation. I have a townhouse that I would absolutely LOVE to get rid of. I bought it last year but have since discovered that if I stay in the area that I am in that I can look forward to working in call center hell for as long as I can imagine. I can get a better job that won’t drive me absolutely crazy if I just go to a bigger city but now I’m stuck here because of my townhouse which I can’t sell unless I am willing to take a HUGE loss. Problem is that I cannot afford to take that big of a loss. So now I’m left just trying to hold on to my sanity.
Try renting your townhome out. Friend of mine was in a similar position and now has a net positive $150 in income each month and was able to move to a place he wanted to for a better job.
