Can't Sell Your House & Move Where There Is Work?

Often work, whether as an employee or entrepreneur, is where we're not.  In the old days we would sell the house and use the proceeds to start a new life in a more promising location.  I did just that in 2001.  That, of course, was before the housing crash.

But, there are ways to unload a house.  One is to provide seller's financing.  Another is to check around and see if a nonprofit or government wants to establish a halfway house or residence for independent living.  Usually, halfway houses for substance abusers don't require special zoning since conditions such as alcoholism are recognized by the federal government as disabilities.
